To all,
Here is what is possible using only Open Source tools.
- Eclipse based IDE, like the Java developers
- Adding the IBM Aqua Eclipse plugin, here is a link
https://developer.ibm.com/mainframe/products/downloads/
With the IBM plugin, you can do things like submit batch jobs,
view the JES2 batch output, view the SYSLOG, view and edit USS directories or
z/OS datasets and much more
- Add the Jenkins Eclipse plugin
- The GIT plugin would probably already be installed, if not install it
- Build and install Jenkins
- This can be installed on Linux on Z, Ubuntu is easier than Redhat,
because of the Jenkins requirements. Haven't tried SUSE
- Install the Jenkins Plugins for GIT, and whatever else you want, like
ANT or Maven. There might be others
- Download and install GIT for z/OS from Rocket Software
- Unzip it and configure
Now, from the IDE, you can add, delete, modify anything on z/OS and have it
pushed to USS on z/OS.
- this will not put the code into PDS or any other z/OS dataset
- You can write an ANT or Groovy script to copy the code from USS to
the proper location
- Jenkins might be able to interface with mainframe SCLM tools
- You can look at purchasing tools to build and deploy the code
Suggestion, if you proceed is to add a mime type to each of the source code to
identify the type, like *.cpy for Cobol copybook, or *.rex for REXX. Basically,
any developer can use this layout to perform most, if not all their job
functions, from the IDE, instead of using ISPF. That will save z/OS cycles,
developer time and much more
