[Webinar] Continuous Integration/Deployment (CI/CD) FOR IBM i using Git, Jenkins and JIRA

How can traditional IBM i development languages, like RPG, CL, DDS or even COBOL, be integrated into the continuous workflows used by open systems teams, with Jenkins, Git and JIRA?

Learn how to bring these typically disparate teams into sync, using the same tools and delivering changes together.

We’ll take you through each phase of the DevOps cycle and see how to accomplish this integration and what the challenges are, using open source tools across both IBM i and open systems. In particular, we’ll demonstrate how you can automate the most complex tasks like:

  • dependency build (CI) of specific IBM i technologies, e.g. ILE and DB2 SQL

  • code quality check (CQ)

  • regression test (CT)

  • continuous deploy (CD) & rollback on error

Watch our Webinar to improve your open source tool skills on IBM i!
