Demo: Z DevOps using Git and Jenkins pipeline - 17 June 2020

The objective of this session is to demonstrate  the power of collaborative development and delivery enabled by the IBM Z for DevOps  solutions. Application teams can learn how they can  modernize their application portfolio using  modern technology and tools. We will focus on code and build, automate unit testing and deploy. Production teams can learn how they can extend and automate their existing build and deployment solutions for enterprise applications.
 
This session will demonstrate how IBM Z DevOps and open source tools like Git and Jenkins, progress the continuous integration, continuous testing and continuous delivery in the z/OS operating environment.
 
Our scenario consists of a "broken" COBOL/CICS/DB2 application. The developer will use IBM DevOps tools to locate and identify the faulty code, make the appropriate fixes and compile/link/bind using a new build automation tool (DBB) that integrates with Git and Jenkins pipeline on z/OS. Once the code is fixed, the developer will push the changes to a Git repository.

In order to demonstrate continuous delivery capabilities, this session will showcase a Jenkins pipeline integrated with IBM tools for the build process, unit testing(using the new zUnit functionality), and deployment of code to a CICS environment (using UrbanCode Deploy).
While our scenario uses a COBOL/CICS/DB2 program as an example, the process is similar to other environments or languages (such as Batch, IMS, or PL/1

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
