Automated Deployment of LANSA-based Client/Server Applications Now Easier Than Ever on System i
Chrono-Logic, a developer of application lifecycle management (ALM) and productivity tools, has announced the general availability of iAM for End Users 3.0, which seamlessly automates the deployment of LANSA-based client/server applications to PCs.
A Seamless and Powerful Deployment Tool
Whenever System i sources or objects are promoted on the System i platform, associated DLLs and other Windows objects are immediately deployed to the end users’ PCs. Execution results from each PC are then returned to iAM for Development’s centralized PC inventory management. An online functionality displays a list of all Enhanced Program Changes (EPCs) that were installed on each PC. “iAM for End Users minimizes development and deployment teams’ workload by automating and integrating all the necessary steps,” commented Ghislain Jacques, vice president of product development.
New Features
New features include automated deployment of LANSA EPCs to the end users’ PCs, which upgrades all PCs at the same time to a newer LANSA release. Jacques adds that “deploying Visual LANSA client packages to 100, 500, or 1,000 end users is now greatly simplified, and iAM automation eliminates tedious manual steps and costly errors.”
Business users want new applications now. Market and regulatory pressures require faster application updates and delivery into production. Your IBM i developers may be approaching retirement, and you see no sure way to fill their positions with experienced developers. In addition, you may be caught between maintaining your existing applications and the uncertainty of moving to something new.
IT managers hoping to find new IBM i talent are discovering that the pool of experienced RPG programmers and operators or administrators with intimate knowledge of the operating system and the applications that run on it is small. This begs the question: How will you manage the platform that supports such a big part of your business? This guide offers strategies and software suggestions to help you plan IT staffing and resources and smooth the transition after your AS/400 talent retires. Read on to learn:
