Using IBM UrbanCode Deploy to deliver your apps to CICS

Matthew WebsterSTSM, CICS meets the cloud

S106


Introduction

Delivery of today's multi-platform applications is complex; applications have lots of moving parts that need to work together.

Frequently, separate deployment tooling exists across development teams within an organisation, including the historical use of home-grown tools. These technologies continue to work but are highly structured and contain rigid processes that do not allow for flexible changes to the environment, and do not support multi-platform deployments.

Additionally, customers are looking for better ways to manage and automate individual component deployments and incremental changes to applications, while reducing risk.

Summary

• Seen some of the IBM UrbanCode Deploy V6.1.1 multi-platform deployment capabilities, including deployment to the z Systems (z/OS) environment.

• Utilised some of the latest IBM UrbanCode Deploy V6.1.1 plug-ins:• CICS TS • DB2 for z/OS• Application Deployment for WebSphere Application Server• z/OS Utilities: Submit Job, Run TSO or ISPF Command

• Deployed a CICS TS 5.2 application, a Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) application to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and, additionally, IBM mobile app components ....

.... in one deployment operation
