What IBM i Modernization Really Means

Modernization is more than replacing green screens. It’s about:

Enabling web, mobile, and API access to IBM i applications
Improving development speed and quality with DevOps and automation
Increasing visibility and control over complex application landscapes
Integrating IBM i seamlessly with modern platforms and technologies

Our IBM i developers provide the tools and methodology to achieve this, step by step, at your pace.

Remain API Studio

Looking to implement REST APIs? Creating and editing them with speed and reliability couldn’t be easier than with our Remain API Studio, a standalone or TD/OMS-integrated client for creating and managing REST definitions.

Containing built-in documentation for all parts of the OAS 3.0 spec-compliant definition, it also includes a rich visual editor with API testing, import, export, code generation and more. See for yourself how easy it is!

Git Interface for DevOps

TD/OMS, our ALM and DevOps solution, interfaces seamlessly with the Git family solutions and provides an intuitive UI between the Git products, your team’s development processes and TD/OMS. The integration supports easy source management involving multiple environments/platforms to task-based development and testing within isolated environments and more. Results include increased speed, accuracy and productivity, and a confident, future-ready view of your ongoing development.

Advanced Cross-Ref

Have you ever missed a dependency? You know the potential for the negative impact on your production environment and your customers’ experience. Our landscape is changing. In addition to developing IBM i objects, we’ve expanded to include various platforms and languages (PHP, Python, Java) in our applications. Xref, TD/OMS’ reliable and intuitive source code search and cross-reference engine, ensures superb oversight and impact assessment so you don’t miss any dependencies across your enterprise.

A Strong Foundation: DevOps and ALM for IBM i

Successful IBM i modernization starts with control and transparency. TD/OMS, our Application Lifecycle Management and DevOps platform, forms the backbone of your modernization strategy.

With TD/OMS, you gain:

Centralized change and release management
Automated deployments across IBM i and multi-platform environments
Full traceability for compliance and governance
Support for Agile and DevOps workflows

This ensures modernization initiatives are predictable, auditable, and scalable.

OCTO: FEATURED ON IT JUNGLE

In a recent article by Alex Woodie featured on the “IT Jungle” website, Remain Software announced a significant upgrade to its change management software for IBM i, specifically with the release of TD/OMS 16.1. This update introduces several enhancements aimed at improving the development experience for users.

ALLOW INSECURE CONTENT IN BROWSERS

When you want to work with Octo, the TD/OMS REST server must be running on your IBM i. Ideally, this should be a secured connection but many shops do not have an SSL certificate installed and are therefore running on http. This is not great but on a VPN or inside an office it could be acceptable.

CORS EXPLAINED TO RPG PROGRAMMERS

When our customers start working with our OpenAPI Studio product to create REST services in RPG Free, they often struggle with CORS issues. This article attempts to explain CORS using concepts familiar to RPG Free programmers.If you want to see our OpenAPI Studio in action, you can follow this link.
