BMC AMI DevX Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BMC AMI DevX is used very widely in the organisation to view/edit flat and VSAM files. Developers rely heavily on the ability to see data in a formatted fashion and modify if needed.

Pros

  • Editing VSAM files with File Aid using copybooks

Cons

  • File Aid DB2 could be improved for scrolling

Return on Investment

  • I don't know if we have measured any productivity improvement but absent this tool it would be quite difficult to work with VSAM

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are both new and old users of BMC AMI DevX tools within our organization. We are in the midst of cutting over from IBM's Software Configuration and Library Manager (SCLM) to BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline and Workbench for Eclipse (that's the new) and we recently reinstalled Code Debug (formerly known as Xpediter) as well as Abend-AID and File-AID, all three of which we have used previously under the Compuware umbrella (that's the old). Our goal is to modernize the mainframe developer experience while establishing a solid base from which we can implement a fully integrated DevOps lifecycle that encompasses both our mainframe and our distributed platforms.

Pros

  • Extensive functionality that is easily customized to shop standards and needs
  • Integration between tools across the BMC AMI DevX suite
  • Supports development and maintenance processes from start to finish
  • Improves programmer productivity

Cons

  • ISPF Help panels need to be kept up to date and fully synchronized with the panels and functions they are meant to support
  • The written documentation would certainly benefit from more diagrams

Return on Investment

  • We have not had BMC AMI DevX long enough to measure ROI or point to any other specific measurements. As the "chief toymaker", I can tell you that my personal productivity has increased at the infrastructure level, which is an excellent start.
