IBM i (aka AS/400 or AS400) BUILD AUTOMATION

ARCAD Builder

Smart dependency build for IBM i applications

WITH ARCAD BUILDER Automate 100% of IBM i application buildsspeeding up delivery and reducing production defects

Dependencies compilation

» Compiles all dependencies using a unique metadata repository

Continuous Integration (CI)

» Sequences the recompilations needed using dependency knowledge

Smart ‘dependency’ build

» Recompiles precisely application components impacted by a change

WITH ARCAD BUILDERAutomate a ‘smart’ recompile.At each code change.

Compilation automation

Save time and reduce errors during the compilation or recompilation of objects

Automation of pre/post compilation processes

Save time and reduce errors prior to and following the compilation process

Object admin tasks automation

Save time and eliminate errors by automating object admin tasks (Object attributes, dependencies, authorities, and ownership)

Automated transfer of data to the new database structure

Save time and eliminate errors during the transfer of data to a new structure

ARCAD Builder Features

It can be difficult to automate the compilation for a given component – given the range of possible actions to be performed before and after compile, and/or specific compilation requirements. ARCAD-Builder automates 100% of the build process for any type of IBM i component. Executable code is recreated without any manual intervention, preserving existing rights, properties, and attributes.

Handles all the build specifics automatically (compilation commands, save and restore of data in the new file structure, etc…)
Simplifies the complex task of recompiling IBM i applications, eliminating manual effort and risk
Coordinates rapid builds across IBM i and open systems to deliver massive productivity gains

With ARCAD Builder, we have automated an enterprise-grade CI/CD pipeline for RPG based on Git and Jenkins and massively improved our responsiveness to user demands. ARCAD handles all the compilation specifics so that an RPG change can be deployed to test and production automatically after a successful commit.
