Meister's Build Management for z/OS - Master Building Accurate z/OS Applications in Less Time with Less Effort OpenMake Meister for z/OS is the only build management solution available that allows you to build and manage binaries, across the enterprise - from Windows/Unix to the Mainframe, providing a “one size fits all” solution. Meister for z/OS provides a central, common build management method for managing your binaries, regardless of the language or Operating System.
So go ahead, develop on the mainframe. We have you covered. Click here to get the Meister for z/OS Datasheet Build Management Best Practices: Meister's Build MethodsMeister for z/OS Build Methods enable build management best practices by defining standard procedures for calling z/OS compilers. Build Methods are based on REXX and can be developed using Meister for z/OS’s rich library of reusable REXX modules that perform common tasks such as generating JCL. Build Methods enables you to generate the Compile and Links JCL, in a consistent and repeatable method, minimizing the redundancies normally found in ad hoc JCL scripting. Build methods enable build best practices and enforces standard procedures in every build you execute. Adaptable and Dynamic Builds: Meister Build ServicesOpenMake Meister for z/OS is the perfect solution for developers writing applications that connect diverse platforms. When your application spans both the legacy mainframe environment as well as the distributed environment, you need a method for building the application as if it runs on a single platform. Meister’s Build Services standardizes and centralizes the creation of binaries for both the mainframe and distributed platforms. Meister allows you to integrate your environments by providing a common process for building your application and managing your binaries. On-demand Build Knowledge: Meister's Community Developed Knowledge Base Meister for z/OS integrates into the Meister community-developed knowledge base enabling cross-platform build coordination. The community-developed knowledge base keeps all developers in sync providing a shared build object repository, common locations for reporting on parameter usage, and environment variable usage. Build Logs, reports and schedules are centralized, providing the self-service and self-documented build management support needed in today's lean development environments. Build Forensics: Managing Source to Load ParityMeister for z/OS provides the deep dependency discovery needed for exposing the artifacts used to create your load objects. Even when components are NOT stored in a version control tool, Meister for z/OS will provide the precise location of all source, objects and libraries, and where they were found to create the binary. When an application failure occurs, you need to trace the source of the offending event, similar to using fingerprints and DNA to track down the suspect of a crime. With Meister for z/OS's advanced dependency discovery and reporting, every item used to create the binary is stored in an application "footprint" and reported in the applications "Build Audit Report" regardless of versioning tool usage.
