IBM Wazi aaS and Kobee Integration for z/OS Development

This solution brief outlines the integration of IBM Wazi as a Service (aaS) and Kobee for z/OS development, testing, and production processes. It describes how developers can utilize a cloud-native z/OS environment to enhance productivity through contemporary integrated development environments (IDEs) and automated processes. The document details the pre-deployment phase, where developers can build and test z/OS applications in a virtual environment, and commit their code to source code repositories. Following this, Kobee facilitates the continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes by generating necessary Job Control Language (JCL) for executing code on the production mainframe. The brief also explains the stages of creating, verifying, packaging, and releasing code, highlighting the tools and languages supported, as well as the special features of the solution. The document emphasizes the collaborative benefits of using IBM Wazi aaS and Kobee to streamline z/OS application development.
