BMC AMI DevX vs. OpenText Dimensions RM

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.

from my point of view its usually suited for a project with 20 to 50 members in it. have more than that may cause issue. because of sharing will be difficult among more people

• 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.
• the debug utility is very useful. Place stopping points is easy and one can set parameters as to when you stop at a line of code. Changing the data on the fly is easy and usefull. The interface is easy to use and make sense.

• Traceability - will allow you to see end to end how requirements are related to each other, to project artifacts, how the requirement was tested, and the implementation code (when using with Serena CM).
• Baselines - these are snapshots in time which are typically used at project phases and milestones. They allow you to see all aspects of a project from requirements to testing and how it has progressed or changed over time.
• Test Management - test steps, execution, defect management are all included in RM, providing a powerful SDLC management platform.

• Download source code plug-in on Azure DevOps to allow downloading prod version even if it's not in the assignment.
• Publishing Test Results on Azure DevOps from Total Test plugin
• Integration with DevEnterprise in Workbench and GenAI capabilities for enhance code analysis (Accross multiple programs/applications)

• it is a centralized software so the issue is only one user can have access to software at a given point of time
• some times check-in and check out takes time
• its little difficult for newbies to understand and work with

This is a very good range of tools that we use daily to maintain our programs

9 as it gives good smooth experience for all development tasks. Can be improved a little.

The tool is very reliable and we have had very few cases where we have had to contact support.

With one exception, we did not observe any slowdown in development activity when using the AMI DEVX Code DEBug tool.

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 learning phase is relatively easy to implement.

The installation teams for these products have never complained about any difficulties during the integration of this range of tools into our IT system.

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.

• Possitive impact. It is main product suite to enable devops in the mainframe applications team. All developers use these on day-to-day work.
• Negative impact: Recent usability issues caused disappointment in the application teams. It became hard motivate the development community to increase usage.

• management of requirement is much easier
• centralized access to all the document
• better user friendly experience
