Features and benefits

IBM Db2 DevOps Experience for z/OS allows organizations to bring mainframe Db2 applications to market more rapidly, at lower costs, and with less risk.

Db2 DevOps Experience offers several unique and significant features that you can use to improve your DevOps practices.

Simple self-service provisioning on demand

A modern web-based UI makes it easy for application developers without mainframe experience to work in a z/OS environment. Application developers can provision and deprovision their own Db2 for z/OS environments with very little training.

Role-based administration

Create teams, environments, and permissions with review and approval of change requests.

Management directives

Integrate management directives into your organization's existing continuous delivery process. Generate and enforce rules for attributes.

Infrastructure as a service

Extend infrastructure as service by representing database as code.

Platform as a service

Bring platform as a service practices to Db2 for z/OS, empowering faster development, testing, and integration of application changes through automation and standardization.

API support for CI/CD applications

Use APIs to automate your Db2 processes using continuous integration or continuous delivery tools such as Urban Code Deploy, Jenkins, or Bamboo.

Source-control using Git

Manage your Db2 application objects with source-controlled storage, retrieval, review, and versioning using Git.
