Continuous Integration

THE SOLUTION

Build of IBM i application is becoming more and more complex. There is now an intensive use of:

• SQL with Integrity and triggering features, 
• ILE model with the reusability of Code but also
• multiple technical and/or functional links between IBM I application and Web front developed in multiple technologies like Java, .net, PHP

This make a real build process have to be done to really allow test of all the functionalities of an application. 

Continuous integration is today the solution to provide productive answer to these more and more growing needs. 

THE ADVANTAGES 

ARCAD Provide in different module feature that make Full Platform continuous integration possible.

• Our Repository is able to handle SQL and ILE Configuration management,
• Component build processes is able to manage very complex definition with dynamic dependency management (for example in ILE, the creation of a load object dynamically analyze the right order for object generation.
• Our Xref is done over all platform that detect technical dependencies between objects issued from different platform

ARCAD-deliver has cross platform delivery feature to synchronize multi-platform deployment.

ARCAD include also 2 ways interfaces with Standard continuous integration product (like Hudson)
