I love these tools! However, my company has not yet transitioned from SCLM to a modern repository, and this is causing most of our developers to remain within TSO for all their development. It's been a slow adoption up to this point, but we are moving toward more modernization this year and next, so with any luck, we'll see usage pick up. Success depends on the speed at which your management is willing to move.

Issues need to be escalated faster, and partner products need to be researched more extensively, for example SYSNCSORT had an issue with BMC AMI Ops Cloud which delayed the Restore of our ONE Pack system at the DR site. BMC support has been great working with the other vendor and getting us a fix to apply, to allow continuation of our restores at the DR Site.

Pros
BMC Software Inc.
  • The tool I use is fairly intuitive. It doesn't take long to be using it full time.
  • Changing the layout/view is fairly easy. This allows it to fit individual preferences.
  • It is helpful to be able to view specific windows in full screen. Usually, I have it set up to view multiple windows, but sometimes, I just want to view one window in full-screen mode.

  • Some of the data in java (or web) is presented in what looks like the original ISPF panels. Functional, but not pretty. Keep the same info but make it more presentable
  • More online help on field. Or expanded help
  • perhaps an option for fewer screens for novice users

Very user friendly, standardized UI is easy to use, even for a rookie systems programmer. Console management is setup nicely, Cloud integration is made easy (private & Public) Troubleshooting and setup was easy to accomplish. The UI does have a modern look and feel, and very much like other Cloud UI dashboards.

Support has been amazing compared to Optim. Further, new features are very regular with File-AID - I can't remember the last time Optim had a significant update. File-AID support is very receptive to feature requests and reported bugs, including sending out hotfixes quickly.

The names may have changed over the years, but anyone who has been around for a while will recognize them. For Software Configuration Management, I have used TSO/ISPF/SCLM, Panvalet, ChangeMan, Librarian, Endevor, and now Code Pipeline. All of them met the basic requirements. All of them had their advantages and disadvantages. Code Pipeline, however, stands head and shoulders above the rest in simplicity, completeness, effectiveness, efficiency, and elegance.

BMC AMI Cloud and Data provides a data resiliency solution for the cloud. It is for customers looking to 1. backup their decades-worth of data stored in physical or virtual tapes to Cloud storage (AWS S3), 2. perform analytics and business intelligence to run targeted customers or campaigns on mainframe data now available in the cloud, and 3. use the data as backup/ restore copies in the event of a disaster.
