Self-service Catalog Scales Consumption of Services

Configure a modern DevOps
toolchain for easy interaction
with mainframe.
• Developers confidently
apply their tools of choice
with clear insight into legacy
applications
• DevOps architects automate
cross-platform DevOps
implementations using
industry standard tools
Create a Consistent
Platform Experience

Developers Use Their Tools of Choice
Using BrightSide,
Michelle can code for the
mainframe as she would
for any platform
She can use
her favorite
code editor
She works on a
team, so source
control tools like
Git are essential
Using BrightSide
commands, she can
interact with the
mainframe’s data
and tools
Michelle issues a few simple
commands to download the
code to her PC
CA Endevor® SCM

Developers Use Their Tools of Choice
Michelle edits the
source and issues a
BrightSide command
to generate a build
Michelle commits her
code, which triggers
Jenkins and her
code pipeline
(QA, DEV, PROD)
She can use
modern build tools
like Gulp and run a
local unit test
Michelle gets a
message that her code
was successfully
tested and deployed
Michelle can debug
and rebuild her code
without leaving her
code editor

Ravi is a DevOps
Architect responsible for
automating continuous
integration & delivery
His team recently
transitioned to an
Agile process
The app he want to
automate contains
code running on
different systems
Ravi embeds
scripts in Gradle,
but he can use any
tool he chooses.
DevOps Architects Automate Using Industry
Standard Tools When a change is made,
steps are orchestrated
to streamline integration.
Using BrightSide’s scripts
makes this much easier!
CA Endevor® SCM

Now, when a team
member commits a
change in Git, it triggers
a build of all artifacts
Approvals are requested as
code is migrated across
stages in the delivery pipeline
Upon completion of unit tests,
Gradle provisions new test
environments and moves the
artifacts for integration testing.
Ravi’s team’s
productivity has
increased exponentially
since automating their
workflows!
Now ready for delivery,
Ravi embeds
BrightSide scripts in CD
tools like Jenkins to
run the pipeline

Brightside summary slide

Utilize self-service provisioning
of Mainframe assets for:
• Reduced costs and cycle
times via easy access to
Dev/Test environments.
• More effective data usage by
developers and applications,
which allows business
decisions to be better guided
through critical data insights.
Remove Barriers
to Innovation

Dave is a developer
who codes
applications on the
mainframe
Self-Service Provisioning Improves Developer
Autonomy…
He wants to update
his app and test it on
a Production-like
environment before
launching to the public
Dave needs to add a new transaction,
which requires a new DB2 table. He can
do this easily with BrightSide commands.
He then uses BrightSide to search
available templates for
provisioning an environment.
He remembers when this took much
longer and required a system admin!

Now, using BrightSide commands, he can easily
compile his source code and deploy the new
transaction to the mainframe for testing.
Developing and testing on
the mainframe has never
been easier!
Dave verifies the changes and easily
de-provisions the environment. He
checks in his code to deliver the code
to his team’s release pipeline.
…and Reduces Waste From Idle Dev/Test
Environments
Dave automates the
steps with Gulp and
defines the DB2
connection to CICS
Total time: 16 minutes!

Incorporate operational
intelligence based on
machine learning to empower
IT operations to achieve and
beat SLAs as well as ably
build institutional knowledge
Minimize Downtime
