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.

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. BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline provides the mainframe portion of that evidence, refreshed each time the generation job runs.

Product highlights

Modern pipelines in the tools developers know

Developers build, test, and deploy mainframe code using modern, automated pipelines in the environment they already prefer.

  • Multi-environment support

    Work in Eclipse, VS Code, or ISPF, whichever interface developers prefer.

  • Integrated automation

    Automated workflows enforce consistency and security across every stage of the DevOps lifecycle.

  • Code quality from build to deploy

    Reduce release risk and maintain code quality across every mainframe deployment.

Streamline development with flexible Git integration

Choose your preferred development workflow with complete flexibility between traditional mainframe SCM and modern Git-compatible approaches.

  • Enterprise Git compatibility

    Integrate with Bitbucket®, GitHub®, or go 100% Git while leveraging BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline for build and deploy.

  • Feature branching support

    Use BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline with feature branching for SCM or combine Git workflows with mainframe-specific capabilities.

  • Concurrent development

    Enable multiple developers to work on the same program simultaneously with confident code merging.

Connect the mainframe to your DevOps toolchain

Use webhooks and APIs to orchestrate end-to-end deployments and give your entire DevOps ecosystem visibility into mainframe releases.

  • Webhook and API integration

    Connect with leading DevOps tools to orchestrate end-to-end deployments.

  • Fewer manual steps

    Automated webhooks and API triggers replace manual handoffs between mainframe and distributed teams, reducing error at every stage.

  • Faster, safer releases

    Ship faster while maintaining code integrity and stability across every environment.

Bring AI coding assistants into the governed mainframe pipeline

Let AI coding assistants run mainframe build and deploy actions through BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline, under the controls your pipeline already enforces.

  • Code Pipeline MCP Server (Beta)

    Connect MCP-compatible assistants such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Claude Code to BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline through the open Model Context Protocol (MCP) without custom integration code.

  • Developer-approved actions

    The assistant proposes the change and asks before it runs generate, promote, or deploy.

  • One audit trail for AI and human work

    Assistant-invoked actions pass through Code Pipeline approval workflows and lifecycle visibility, so reviewers see AI activity alongside every other change.

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. Supported AI coding assistants invoke the same operations through the Code Pipeline MCP Server (Beta).

Migrate from other mainframe SCMs without downtime

Reduce the time and risk of migrating from other mainframe SCMs with a proven methodology that has delivered dozens of migrations. The Migration Discovery Tool builds a detailed picture of your current SCM environment, which limits 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."
