About

BMC AMI DevX reimagines mainframe development by helping teams build better code with less friction, stronger flow, and a more modern developer experience. It unifies agile development, testing, debugging, promotion, and delivery in a mainframe-inclusive toolchain designed to support developers at every skill level. Teams can work directly in preferred environments such as Eclipse and VS Code, reducing context switching and simplifying onboarding for new developers. BMC AMI DevX helps streamline editing, build, source code management, approvals, and deployment through Code Pipeline, enabling concurrent development, faster releases, and more secure delivery. Code Insights gives developers real-time visibility into complex mainframe applications, helping visualize logic, dependencies, and monolithic code structures, while generative AI explanations support faster understanding of unfamiliar COBOL, JCL, PL/I, and Assembler code.

About

eXplain is a specialized code-analysis and legacy-system evaluation tool from PKS Software GmbH, designed to deeply analyze, map, document, and assess legacy applications, especially on mainframe platforms such as IBM i (AS/400) and IBM Z, so organizations can understand what lives in their software, how it’s structured, and what parts are worth keeping, refactoring or retiring. It imports existing source code into an independent “eXplain server”, no need to install anything on the host system, then uses advanced parsers to examine languages like COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, Natural, RPG, JCL, and others, along with data about databases (Db2, Adabas, IMS), job-schedulers, transaction monitors, and more. eXplain builds a central repository that becomes a knowledge hub; from there, it generates cross-language dependency graphs, data-flow maps, interface analyses, clusterings of related modules, and detailed object-and-resource usage reports.
