Overall Satisfaction with BMC AMI DevX

The BMC AMI DevX products are used in our company for

- Mainframe Abend Analysis (Abend-AID, Abend-AID for CICS),
- Mainframe Debugging (Code Debug for TSO, Code Debug for CICS, Code Coverage)
- Mainframe Performance Analysis (Strobe)
- Mainframe Data Management (File-AID/MVS, File-AID/RDX, File-AID/DB2, File-AID/Data Solutions)

Pros

  • Deep insights in programs (Strobe)
  • Easy Abend Analysis (Abend-AID / Abend-AID for CICS)
  • Comfortable Debugging (Code Debug for TSO / Code Debug for CICS)

Cons

  • User interface of File-AID is mostly still built for green screen terminals (missing color support).
  • Installation documentation (all products) could be streamlined.
  • Product naming is too fancy...
  • Increased developer productivity
  • Faster problem analysis for system programmers using dumps (including SVC dumps)
  • Faster release frequency
Mainframe developers can release their software earlier. Theay are faster analysing problems with Abend-AID, can faster develop and debug their software with Code Debug and can more easily view their different data using File-AID.
