BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline

The intelligent, governed delivery platform for the mainframe.

BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline extends modern CI/CD to mainframe code. Connect your existing Git workflows and CI/CD tools to z/OS, with the audit trail and governance the mainframe requires.

15X

more code changes per year

50%

increase in deployment frequency

EU Cyber Resilience Act. Attaches to "The EU Cyber Resilience Act mandates SBOMs for market access." Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, Annex I, Part II, point 1.

33%

faster code changes

EU Digital Operational Resilience Act. Attaches to the Article 10 clause. Regulation (EU) 2022/2554, Article 10.

What changes when the pipeline works

Deploy more often

Teams release 50% more often. Automated build and deploy replace the manual steps that hold mainframe delivery back.

Ship more change

Developers make up to 15X more code changes per year. Concurrent development and confident merging let several people work on the same program at once.

Spend less running the toolchain

Administration costs drop 50%. Modular compile skeletons and low setup overhead mean fewer specialists and less time keeping the pipeline running.

Supply chain transparency where the regulated workloads run

Know what's in your mainframe applications

BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline generates a CycloneDX Software Bill of Materials for the mainframe components it manages, including program names and versions, copybooks, and called programs. A batch job triggers the generation, and teams run it as a step in their existing pipeline. Load the output into your SBOM repository, and your security team queries it when a CVE is published.

Compliance evidence that stays current

The EU Cyber Resilience Act mandates SBOMs for market access, with vulnerability reporting obligations taking effect on September 11, 2026. The EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (Article 10) requires financial institutions and their ICT providers to maintain component inventories. BM AMI DevX Code Pipeline provides the mainframe portion of that evidence, refreshed each time the generation job runs.

Product highlights

Use cases

How modern mainframe teams ship

Build mainframe code process the modern way

Manage mainframe code the same way as cloud and mobile through Git integration and BMC AMI DevX Workbench for VS Code. Easy configuration enables enterprise-wide parallel development, while promotion analysis automatically identifies dependencies for confident deployment.

Deploy to production without manual handoffs

With intuitive dashboards and hierarchical charts, operators can quickly identify issues and take corrective action. Integration with leading DevOps CI/CD tools ensures streamlined and secure deployment across the enterprise.

Automate and integrate processes

Integrate with leading DevOps tools like Jenkins and Digital.ai Release, so non-mainframe programmers can run and monitor deployments without specialized knowledge. With powerful REST APIs, a CLI, and webhook notifications, automate operations like promote, compile, and deploy across your cross-platform toolchain.

Migrate from legacy SCMs without downtime

Reduce the time and risk of migrating from legacy mainframe SCMs with a proven methodology that has successfully delivered dozens of migrations. The Migration Discovery Tool provides a deep understanding of your current SCM environment, minimizing disruption to your business operations.

BMC AMI DevX awarded by TrustRadius

BMC AMI DevX has earned consecutive Top Rated awards and a Buyer's Choice award from TrustRadius, reflecting sustained customer satisfaction. Users recognized the solution for modernizing mainframe development, improving code quality, and enabling faster, more secure delivery across enterprise environments.

What customers are saying

Quote Icon
"In our experience, for many young developers, the challenge isn't the mainframe language or platform but the environment. BMC AMI DevX tools have been instrumental in enabling us to onboard new developers. Now, they don’t need to understand all the technical details of how mainframes work to write effective software for them."
