IBM i change control
Deliver IBM i changes with control and confidence.
MDCMS manages application changes from development through test and production, providing automation, visibility and a complete audit trail.
- Controlled application deployment
- Approval and audit visibility
- Automatic recovery from failed installations
Controlled software delivery
Move changes forward without losing control.
MDCMS provides a structured process for managing source, objects, approvals and deployment packages across IBM i environments.
Control
Manage who can change application components and how those changes move between development, test and production.
Automate
Build repeatable installation processes containing the required source, objects, commands, authorities and dependencies.
Prove
Maintain detailed histories showing what changed, who authorised it, where it was installed and whether deployment completed successfully.
Application lifecycle management
One process from request to production.
MDCMS brings the information needed to plan, build, approve, install and review application changes into a consistent workflow.
- Source and object reservation and version control
- Requests for Promotion containing complete change packages
- Configurable approval and deployment workflows
- Scheduled installation across multiple IBM i environments
- Installation history, reporting and recovery
Protecting production
Know what will happen before installation begins.
Pre-installation checks can identify missing objects and conflicts. Previous versions are retained, and failed installations can be recovered without relying on improvised manual procedures.
Core capabilities
Designed for real IBM i application environments.
Configure MDCMS around your existing applications, environments and delivery processes without introducing a proprietary scripting language.
Source and Objects
Manage IBM i source, compiled objects, IFS content, ILE components, configuration data and other application resources.
SQL and Dependencies
Control modern SQL entities and dependent components with the correct sequencing for reliable builds and installations.
Multiple Environments
Distribute and install controlled change packages across development, test, production and remote IBM i systems.
Modern Development
Connect native IBM i change control with REST-based integration, MDOpen and wider cross-platform development workflows.
Implementation and support
Supported by practical IBM i experience.
KDP Software has worked with IBM i application development and change management since the late 1980s and is a Midrange Dynamics reseller.
We can assist with installation, configuration, process design, training, upgrades and ongoing MDCMS support.
