New, significant code, build, and test capabilities include:

• Dependency Based Build V1.0.6 enhances the developer experience with increased coverage of market-leading pipeline coordinators and deployment tooling, and more open and familiar scripting language and API options for developers and DevOps engineers. This offering is also included in Z Open Development V2.0 and Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition V14.2. • Developer for z/OS, V14.2 and Z Open Development V2.0 deliver PL/I program analytics, personalized guidance for tuning the environment, and features that ease the transition from ISPF to a modern development environment. • Support is added for IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.3, IBM Enterprise PL/I for z/OS, V5.3, and z/OS V2.4.

Overview

DevOps is the union of people, process, and tools to enable continuous integration and continuous delivery to a common pipeline. Delivery to a common pipeline starts with a modern source control management (SCM) repository. One of the most popular and pervasive SCMs for DevOps teams is Git, which offers true parallel development capabilities.

With this announcement, selected IBM Z DevOps programs are enhanced to streamline your DevOps pipeline:

• Dependency Based Build V1.0.6 • Z Open Development V2.0 • Z Open Unit Test V2.0 • Developer for z/OS, V14.2 (formerly known as IBM Developer for z Systems(R))

IBM Europe Software Announcement ZP19-0509 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 1 Dependency Based Build V1.0.6 provides z/OS software development teams with a build tool kit that is designed to build applications for Git, together with dependency analysis so that developers build only what is needed. Dependency Based Build also includes Groovy for automation, which helps integrate mainframe processes with open source utilities so that users can connect those processes to an enterprise-wide CI/CD pipeline by using familiar tools such as Jenkins.

In addition to a modern SCM and build tool kit, developers need an environment where they can iterate quickly in a personal inner loop to analyze, edit, build, test, and easily commit their changes to the shared pipeline. The following offerings can equip developers with the key capabilities that they need to power their inner loop:

• Z Open Development • Developer for z/OS coupled with Dependency Based Build

Z Open Development V2.0 includes Dependency Based Build, complemented by essential z/OS developer capabilities, such as editors and a debugger, to facilitate the use of a modern SCM such as Git, standardizing on true parallel development across the enterprise.

Continuous integration requires automated unit testing. Z Open Unit Test V2.0 includes IBM Z Unit, a powerful automated unit testing capability for batch and CICS(R) COBOL applications. Automatic test generation enables developers to quickly create and run tests as part of their standard development process to ensure that only quality tested code gets released. Full stubbing enables tests to easily run in batch with minimal expense as part of a manual or automated DevOps pipeline. IBM Z Open Unit Test works in concert with Z Open Development to drive quicker development and test cycles for consistently high software quality.

Developer for z/OS, V14.2 is a more robust, modern tool set for developing and maintaining z/OS applications. It has built-in capabilities that facilitate z/ OS application delivery through the use of DevOps practices. When paired with Dependency Based Build (either purchased separately or included with Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition), Developer for z/OS combines all of the capabilities that are offered by Z Open Development and Z Open Unit Test with value-add capabilities such as refactoring and data tooling. Additionally, Developer for z/OS offers features such as ISPF style editors, a 3270 interface, and menu manager. Menu manager enables the integration of existing utilities (for example, REXX, CLISTs, TSO Commands, JCL, or ISPF Edit Macros) with the developer workflow to ease the transition to DevOps for teams that are currently practicing more traditional z/OS software delivery.

Key requirements

Description

Dependency Based Build V1.0.6 enhancements

• Version 1.0.6 of Dependency Based Build provides a set of utilities for z/OS UNIX(R) based utilities that are modeled after similar standard Linux(R) commands, but updated to work with z/OS data sets and file systems. Language support for these utilities is extended to enable programmers to use a preferred programming language, such as JavaTM or Python, to develop scripts and automation tools. • In addition to Jenkins, Dependency Based Build is now qualified to work with alternative pipeline coordinators such as MicrosoftTM Azure Pipelines or JetBrains TeamCity. • Dependency Based Build provides additional options for developers, with the availability of Swagger API documentation for the server and the capability to easily specify properties for scripts in YAML format. • Dependency Based Build V1.0.6 adds support for Db2(R) for z/OS for the Dependency Based Build server repository for clients that prefer to manage this data on z/OS.

Dependency Based Build can be purchased separately. Additionally, it is a component of Z Open Development and Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition. Dependency Based Build is delivered through the Continuous Delivery support model to assist enterprises in receiving function and service more quickly. For more information about new features of Dependency Based Build V1.0.6, see Dependency Based Build, What is new and noteworthy.

IBM code coverage enhancements

Code coverage is complementary to unit testing. Additionally, it can be employed as an essential part of a DevOps pipeline to validate that changes are being tested and to help determine the effectiveness of your tests. Code coverage capability is included in IBM Z Open Unit Test and Developer for z/OS. In Z Open Unit Test V2.0 and Developer for z/OS, V14.2, PL/I code coverage collection performance is improved.

IBM Z Open Development V2.0 and IBM Developer for z/OS, V14.2 enhancements

Both Z Open Development and Developer for z/OS offer essential developer capabilities, including modern editors, z/OS debugging capabilities, and integration with modern SCMs. Thus, enhancements to these core capabilities are delivered in both offerings. Enhancements common to Z Open Development V2.0 and Developer for z/OS, V14.2 include:

• Support for current z/OS compilers. Optimized software is built on a firm foundation. Many of the most efficient z/OS applications are built using the

IBM Europe Software Announcement ZP19-0509 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3 current compilers. Z Open Development V2.0 and Developer for z/OS, V14.2 add support for Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, V6.3 and Enterprise PL/I for z/OS, V5.3. • Personalized developer experience. Both Z Open Development and Developer for z/OS have powerful customization options. With this release, the process of customizing settings that are based on your specific needs and preferences is simplified. • PL/I program analytics. Putting program analytics at developers' fingertips helps them build in quality by eliminating the waste that is introduced by software defects, enabling clean code before delivery. This release of Z Open Development and Developer for z/OS offers both PL/I complexity metric calculation and code rules. • Features that ease the transition from ISPF to a modern development environment. Specifically, the COBOL and PL/I editors now offer auto comment capability (which is a time saving feature) and a hot key that conveniently toggles the vertical bar during editing. • Inclusion of the V9.2.1 level of the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT). This level includes a significant number of new capabilities. • Simplified Dependency Based Build user build invocation. • New IBM z/OS Debugger features. Z Open Development V2.0 and Developer for z/OS,V14.2 deliver RESTful APIs to configure CICS and non-CICS profiles to enable just in time code coverage. Note that Z Open Development must be paired with Z Open Unit Test to access code coverage capabilities. In addition, the z/OS Debugger has been enhanced with section breakpoints to simplify debugging, as well as a P2 install option (in addition to Installation Manager).

Developer for z/OS and Z Open Development are delivered through the Continuous Delivery support model to assist enterprises in receiving function and service more quickly. For more information about previous enhancements that were delivered by continuous delivery, see:

• What's new in IBM Developer for z/OS • What's new in IBM Z Open Development

Developer for z/OS, V14.2 only enhancements

New features that are specific to Developer for z/OS include the following:

• Support for debugging IBM Automatic Binary Optimized for z/OS V2.1 optimized modules through the z/OS Debugger. • Inclusion of the EGit client to simplify installation of Developer for z/OS for use with Git. • The capability to invoke z/OS UNIX Systems Services commands and scripts through the menu manager. For example, a developer can invoke a Git command because Git for z/OS is on z/OS UNIX Systems Services.

Developer for z/OS deprecations and removals

The SCLM Developer Toolkit is removed from Developer for z/OS, V14.2. IBM recommends a modern source control management repository that is capable of parallel development, such as Git or IBM Engineering Workflow Management (formerly Rational(R) Team Concert(R)). SCLM is a legacy library manager, and stands in the way of a DevOps transformation. Note that Developer for z/OS Menu Manager integration can be used for continued integration with SCLM.

The generic service client is deprecated in Developer for z/OS, V14.2. SoapUI and Postman are alternatives.

As documented in IBM Support Software lifecycle, IBM 31-bit and 64-bit SDK for z/ OS Java Technology Edition V6.0 is out of support. Therefore, support for Java 6.0 is deprecated and IBM Developer Kit for Java for z/OS (31-bit or 64-bit) V8.0 will become the new minimum supported Java level.
