Modernizing your JCL Tech Stack for Today’s Mainframe Teams
Thursday, July 17th, 2 PM ET
IBM Z software delivery can be challenging for teams with new personnel and limited IBM Z experience. One of the biggest hurdles companies face today is understanding the key areas for improvement for JCL Testing services as well as how to integrate the legacy approach adopted years ago, with today’s teams that use different tools and processes to test and manage batch jobs.
Join us on Thursday, July 17th at 2pm ET, to learn how re-evaluating your JCL validation and management approach can uncover opportunities to boost efficiency, reduce risk, and streamline DevOps workflows.
In this webinar we’ll discuss:
- How your current JCL management approach and solution might be out of date.
- How to identify gaps and improve your JCL testing capabilities.
- Integrating JCL validation at key stages of the DevOps lifecycle to minimize errors and drive CI/CD automation.
- Employing Eclipse-based or VS Code solutions to perform JCL validation under production-equivalent conditions for improved reliability.
