TD/OMS application life cycle management to streamline work of PHP developers
Remain Software announces an enhancement to their flagship IBM i application life cycle management product, TD/OMS. From now on the overview of all the PHP components’ relations is facilitated by a graphical impact analysis functionality reached from a view within ZEND Studio. The enhancement is available December 2014.
The major enhancement allows TD/OMS perspective including graphical impact analysis, showing all component relations to be easily shown within ZEND Studio. The PHP component relations are part of the TD/OMS extended relationships. The component relations are not limited to the components being managed within TD/OMS, which means that all functions and classes that are being used from within the component are visualized. TD/OMS supports an endless drilldown into the using and used by relationships. In addition, it allows management of all relationships between PHP, RPG, Java and any other components in the database.
After visualization of the components, PHP development is facilitated by TD/OMS tasks’ creation from ZEND Studio. Once a task is started the entire software change process, including development, testing and deployment is enforced and controlled by TD/OMS. A TD/OMS staging functionality will additionally allow promotion/deployment of PHP as well as RPG, Java objects to next stage (testing, production) all together, in one step only. This will make application management easier as the front and back end of web applications will be updated simultaneously. The entire process will go fast and any faults will be quickly seen and fixed with a roll-back mechanism, before they go into production.
“PHP is one of the most commonly used scripting languages for web development and Remain Software has been supporting their customers developing PHP applications on IBM i with comprehensive application life cycle management solution, TD/OMS, for a long time. The new TD/OMS functionality which is a result of a seamless integration between TD/OMS and integrated development environment for PHP, ZEND Studio makes it even simpler than before to manage the PHP components effectively” says Wim Jongman, managing director and CTO at Remain Software.
PHP developers using ZEND Studio and who are willing to improve collaboration within their team can easily combine TD/OMS application life cycle management capabilities with Gravity, a workflow management solution from Remain Software or the IBM Rational Team concert. This makes the offering even more comprehensive and can significantly improve work of the entire IT department developing in various languages and using several tools such as RPG Toolbox, X-Analysis, and many others.
This latest development is a preannouncement of an upcoming TD/OMS upgrade to version 7 scheduled for early 2015.
