Serena Dimensions zOS (Distributed Systems Chg Cfg Management)

Serena Dimensions z/OS is a powerful solution package of configuration management which was developed for the large complex development centers of the software using the most various technologies, platforms and different tools. Support and Java, and .Net with close integration with development environments (IDE) is provided. Any platforms are supported: Windows, Linux, Unix and mainframes of IBM.

• Dimensions z/OS has the open architecture allowing to configure a configuration under requirements and the customer's conditions. From a configuration with one server, to option with several specialized environments (multi-LPAR) with automation of procedures of transfer of the code and data between servers. At the same time the user has one global clear idea of all changes (contents, the status, Wednesday) happening in development center.
• Dimensions z/OS provides procedures of assembly, standard for z/OS, but with emphasis on tasks of management of big projects. In particular, z/OS was applied when developing such systems as:
  • CICS
  • Maps BMS / SDF
  • IMS (PSB, ACB)
  • DB2 (compilation, DBRM, bind plan and packages)
  • COBOL/PL1/ASM/Telon/Delta
  • AFP
  • Interfaces with code generators (Pac Base, own tools, …)

• When implementing on mainframes of Dimensions z/OS can solve problems of Deployment, Assembly (compilation and linking) and Installations on real industrial environments (load copy, DB2 Bind, PSB installation).

Dimensions z/OS supports cross-platform development on mainframes on Z/OS and Z/Linux. The product provides a uniform complete picture of configuration changes on all projects of development regardless of the platform of development that allows to automate the unified regulations of software development, to calculate metrics and to control quality.

Tasks:

• Development in heterogeneous environments
• Cross-platform development on mainframes
