IBM Z DevOps Virtual Workshop 

June 15 & 16 , 2021 | 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM EST

The objective of this session is to demonstrate through hands-on workshops, the power of collaborative development and delivery enabled by the IBM Z for DevOps solutions. Application teams can learn how they can modernize their application portfolio using modern technology and tools. We will focus on code and build, automate unit testing and deploy. Production teams can learn how they can extend and automate their existing build and deployment solutions for enterprise applications.

Learn to maximize the capabilities of your Mainframe through IBM DevOps

  • Integrated application development and problem analysis  (ADFz)
  • Managing  your source code using modern technology (including Git)
  • Building automation (DBB) for COBOL or PL/I without a specific source code
    manager but using a pipeline automation tool (including Jenkins )
  • Using a unit testing framework (zUnit)  for COBOL or PL/I as part of the
    development and build environment.
  • Application deployments automation to many environments ( UCD)
  • Expose Mainframe legacy applications via RESTful APIs (z/OS Connect)
  • Measure and report on how system resources are used by mainframe applications  to
    improve performance  (APA)
  • Using IBM Z Virtual Test Platform (VTP) for application Integration Testing of a COBOL/CICS.DB2 application

The labs will also use IBM Z Development and Test Environment (zD&T) as our z/OS system.

Attendees will have an opportunity to work with the IBM software, on a virtual remote desktop environment.

 

Agenda

Day 1

2:000 PM Introductions
2:30 PM Introduction to DevOps on IBM Z (focus on open source tools)
3:20 PM Lab (choose your own):

  • Work with z/OS using COBOL and DB2 to identify an abend, debug, and show the program code coverage result
  • Use IBM DBB with Git and Jenkins on Z to implement a change on an existing transaction and deploy to CICS
4:50 PM Closing Comments

 

Day 2

2:00 PM Demo: Scenario using z DevOps solutions including zUnit, Git, Jenkins, and UrbanCode Deploy
3:00 PM Lab (choose an optional hands-on lab):

  • Use IBM zUnit to Unit Test a CICS or Batch COBOL/DB2 application
  • Using IBM Z VTP to test a COBOL/CICS/DB2 Transaction
  • Create and deploy a restful service using z/OS Connect EE Toolkit and CICS
  • Use Application Performance Analyzer (APA) to identify system constraints and improve application performance from an existing COBOL/DB2 batch program
  • Use Urban Code Deploy to create and deploy an application to Z/OS
