DevOps Transformation
 Breaking down the barriers between teams
 Creating cross functional teams across the application space
 Includes all platform types
– One part of an application process can’t be fundamentally different and move at the speed of business
– No reason the mainframe can’t be as agile or DevOps as the rest
 Start with the biggest business problem and a single team to show value then grow

Mainframe Specific Challenges
7
 Long time stable development and deployment process – it has worked for years
 More mature development organization – comfortable with existing tools and processes
 Highly integrated, monolithic applications
 Limited test environments
– Static hierarchy
 Limited Automated testing

End to End Strategy
 End to End strategy sets direction for steps along the way
 Single DevOps pipeline or as close as possible improves collaboration and reduces friction between teams

About JKE Bank (Fictitious Bank – Not real)
 JKE Bank is a Multi-national bank, headquartered in
the United states and branches across the world
including their branches in India.
 Among the major businesses, JKE Bank supports
home mortgages.
 JKE Bank has been in this business for many many
years and is known to be very customer friendly.
 JKE Bank provide multi channel interface, through a
terminal , web page or Mobile App.
 JKE Bank has a facility for interested clients to
check the monthly mortgage value (EMI) for a loan
they are planning for.

JKE Bank Software
 JKE Bank application has evolved over the years and has
been built on IBM COBOL and CICS software and hosted
on IBM Z.
 JKE bank has always been ahead on the technology curve
and has a hybrid cloud environment using born on the
cloud applications for systems of engagement, REST APIs
for integration and agile across cloud as well as Z
application assets.
– They have an Automated Delivery Pipeline that allows
them to respond to market needs instantly.
 For instance, their software stack involves,
– IBM CICS 5.4, COBOL v6, DB2
– z/OS Connect v2 , IBM API Connect, and ADDI
– Enterprise DevOps tools supporting Continuous
Integration and Continuous Delivery

Story Board : Mortgage Calculator
 JKE Bank is known across the world for providing the
best benefits and experience for their clients.
 This continues to give them the edge over other
competitors and continuously attract new clients and
grows their business.
 In a recent off-site, the leaders come across an idea to
extend more value to clients by discounting mortgage
charges to clients with good credit scores.
 Leadership team loves the idea as it’s a win-win for the
bank and the client . They however need this done
ASAP to reap the benefit of a property show event that
can add many new clients…
 Leadership team asks support of LoB leader, John to
get this done in time for the property show.

All of them Agree that this indeed can be achieved in time …
Pari & Kunal take it over to the teams and the work begins….
Tanuj the Project Lead is in charge and Bob is the developer in the project ..

John, the LoB Leader
Kunal, Cloud Architect
Pari, Enterprise Architect
“Equally good on backend ,
ADDI will help understand
where to change, what to test“
.. with zCEE we can invoke
APIs from our CICS APP.. “Our
automated CICD pipeline will
ensure quick build and deploy. I
will work with the team
“Should be a
simple change on
the front end and
should be quick
redeploy with Cloud
as well”

Notes:
Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations
such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements
equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.

Modern Development Environment
21
 Provide a modern development environment (IDE)
 Includes capabilities such as code rules, unit test, program understanding, debug
 Start requiring the use of code rules and unit test to help push the use of the modern environment
 Understand developers will need time to learn and will need training
 Provide training and support as teams transition

Shift Left and Automated Testing
22
 Automated testing critical to DevOps pipeline
 Multiple testing tools will be used due to platform differences
 Multiple types of automated testing, unit, function, regression
 With limited existing automated tests building up a regression bucket can be seen as a challenge
– Will take a concentrated effort
– Build interface tests to cover a large percentage of the application – Test at the boundary from the front
end or mid tier
– Use Code coverage to understand what has been tested

Code Quality Scanning and Unit testing
23
 Add code rules scanning to the standard process – relatively easy to add, step to understand where you are
with your code
 Should be automated the same way your distributed scanning is done
 Start requiring Unit tests for new code and code changes
 Think of what a Unit is for your z/OS application
– It could be a program or a transaction – COBOL and PL/I are not Java the unit will vary
 With a modern SCM
– require check before delivery to shared development stream or branch
– check in test cases along with source code

Test Environments
24
 Developers need isolated test environments for the team generally
– Perform unit tests without interference from other teams
– Have the ability to restore data easily for testing
 Pipeline needs it’s own test environment to run automated tests
– As you build a pipeline the process needs to be able to have isolated environments with ability to set
data to run automated tests and validate results before moving forward
 Standard process should be to provision environment as part of pipeline and give it back at the end of the
test
 This can be on existing systems in isolated regions and data base or separate LPAR or use of zD&T
 Need a deployment methodology that allows the deployment to new environments that can also be used to
deploy to production

Modern SCM and Build Capability
25
 Mainframe Library managers isolate the traditional z/OS development teams
 Harder to easily change the build process for new actions such as code coverage
 Harder to integrate into pipeline
 No branching or stream capability, limited parallel development
 No easy way to build on alternative environments, including zD&T
 Modern SCM provides all the capabilities for all artifact types, including service definitions and test cases
 Provides process enforcement
