What is IBM Developer for z/OS?

IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition is a modern enterprise development platform designed to help organizations accelerate application development, modernization, and DevOps adoption on IBM z/OS systems. The solution combines Eclipse-based tools, Visual Studio Code integration, browser-based development environments, and advanced debugging capabilities into a unified toolset for enterprise mainframe development. It supports a wide range of programming languages and technologies including COBOL, PL/I, High Level Assembler, REXX, Java, JCL, C/C++, and other z/OS development frameworks. The platform is built to help organizations modernize traditional mainframe workflows while integrating industry-standard DevOps practices such as Git-based source control, CI/CD pipelines, automated builds, and cloud-enabled collaboration. Developers can work within familiar interfaces like Eclipse, VS Code, or browser-based environments depending on their workflow preferences and team requirements. IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition includes advanced debugging capabilities that support full-context debugging across Eclipse, VS Code, and 3270 environments, giving developers flexible troubleshooting options for complex enterprise applications. The platform also features intelligent development tools such as smart code navigation, syntax validation, control flow diagrams, data flow analysis, and ISPF-style interfaces to improve productivity and code understanding. Security and quality assurance are strengthened through integrated tools like ZCodeScan, which identifies vulnerabilities and performs code reviews across z/OS applications. Code coverage analysis tools help teams measure application testing completeness and understand runtime behavior across executable code paths.

What is BMC AMI Strobe?

BMC AMI Strobe is a mainframe application performance monitoring solution that helps teams find, understand, and fix performance problems with precise code-level insight. It is built for developers and performance analysts who need to identify inefficient statements, resource-heavy jobs, costly SQL, wait time issues, and production bottlenecks without relying on guesswork. The platform supports shift-left performance management by enabling measurements inside CI/CD pipelines, helping teams catch problems earlier in the software delivery process. BMC AMI Strobe offers comprehensive coverage for mainframe environments that include CICS, Db2, IMS, Java, COBOL, IBM Language Environment, and file access. Its iStrobe browser-based analytics provide visual tools such as CPU usage treemaps, wait reports, tuning categories, and detailed views of statements that consume excessive resources. The Java dashboard helps teams monitor JVM activity, while BMC AMI Strobe Advisor identifies SQL access paths, catalog statistics, high-cost SQL, and Db2 cost information. AutoStrobe improves productivity by making performance measurements predictable, repeatable, and easier to configure for users with different experience levels. Global Batch Monitoring uses SMF data, rolling CPU averages, and elapsed time metrics to detect high-consuming jobs and initiate measurements automatically. The platform also supports soft capacity peak time reporting, helping teams understand R4HA MSU usage and identify what ran during peak periods. Integrations with Jenkins, Azure, REST APIs, extensions, plugins, and JCL cards make it easier to embed performance monitoring into existing DevOps workflows. BMC AMI Strobe helps mainframe organizations improve application performance, reduce resource consumption, prevent service-level issues, and support more efficient modernization practices.
