What is BMC COPE?

BMC COPE facilitates the virtualization of IMS, enabling the swift development of new images that significantly cut down on both costs and time delays that are generally associated with setting up new IMS subsystems. By providing a method to virtualize IMS systems, COPE effectively mitigates the complexities of creating and managing multiple IMS development and testing environments, thereby reducing the need for separate IMS systems and their respective components during the application's development and testing cycles. This innovative solution enhances the development process by allowing simultaneous operation of various application versions reliant on IMS database services, while also supporting multiple iterations of batch or BMP programs and diverse IMS database types, including Full Function, HALDB, MSDB, and DEDB. COPE connects to Db2, MQ, and CICS subsystems through a single IMS system, which increases its effectiveness when paired with BMC AMI DevX Code Debug, BMC AMI DevX File-AID, and BMC AMI DevX Abend-AID, all of which aid in debugging IMS applications in a COPE virtualized environment. Furthermore, this integrated approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also encourages collaboration among development teams by creating a cohesive space for testing and debugging. As a result, teams can work more fluidly, responding to issues and making adjustments in real-time, ultimately leading to a more streamlined development process.
