Wouldn’t it be great to use familiar tools when you’re needing to integrate mainframe applications into your DevOps pipeline? Mainframe applications have historically required specialized tools and knowledge to build, maintain and integrate with distributed systems. Existing tool integrations are designed for vendor-specific tool chains and they require a great deal of specialized knowledge and expertise to set up. CA Technologies engineering decided to break with tradition and utilize advancements on the zOS platform to provide a Command Line Interface that turns Mainframe into “just” another deployment target for the DevOps pipeline. In this webinar the presenters will show how to integrate, build and test COBOL applications into a modern DevOps pipeline managed by Jenkins Continuous Integration software.

Michelle’s Challenges
1. All data is on the Mainframe – test
scripts, source code, build scripts –
inaccessible to DevOps tools and
frameworks typically used on open
systems
2. Lack of Mainframe expertise –
green screen interfaces, OS
essentials, lack of documentation
etc.
3. No self-service but tickets, manual
steps and wait times

Demonstration
• Simple DevOps Pipeline managed through Jenkins
• Automation scripts that drive build and test processes on the Mainframe side

17. Copyright © 2018 CA. All rights reserved.
Recap
• We created a fully functional, basic DevOps pipeline that extends from distributed to the Mainframe
systems using readily available tools:
• Jenkins CI
• Shell scripts
• Gulp framework
• CA Brightside Community Edition
• We are able to automate all the build and test steps required after each COBOL code change.
• All the scripts logic and data remains on the distributed system for easy modification and
improvement after each iteration.
• z/OS platform is utilized as “just another platform” through Bright commands and command groups.
• We now have a solid foundation for automation of more complex scenarios and trigger events.
