BMC AMI DevX vs. Radar by Skyhook

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

• 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.
