Aldon Lifecycle Manager (IBM i Edition): Managing LANSA
Aldon Lifecycle Manager (IBM i Edition) provides application lifecycle management for the entire line of LANSA application tools. Whether working in LANSA for the System i, LANSA for the Web, or Visual LANSA, Aldon’s interface to LANSA (LANSA Link) enables total management of System i objects and traditional LANSA objects through a structured, seamless process. PC objects for IBM i, Web, Windows, and client/server applications can be managed through Aldon Lifecycle Manager (Enterprise Edition).
LANSA developers now have a comprehensive, automated version control and process management system for all platforms.
Increase Productivity
Aldon significantly reduces the manual, repetitive, and administrative portions of LANSA development. All objects affected by or contributing to a change are processed together as a group or project. When a LANSA object is changed it is automatically checked out, with all required export/import tasks automatically performed. The status of objects in LANSA and in the Aldon solution remain in sync. Applications are developed faster and more accurately than ever before.
Achieve Compliance
Aldon enables companies to meet regulatory compliance for multi-platform development. The system automatically documents developer activity, leaving management with a detailed audit trail of development changes. Customized dashboards and reports provide details of activities performed, including who performed them, when, and, most importantly, why. Historical information is organized into management reports. Role-based security ensures that only authorized persons can make changes and perform actions within the system, giving management control of the development process.
Improve Quality
Under Aldon, the quality of LANSA-generated applications improves because all modifications for IBM i, LANSA, and PC objects flow through the system in the same way. Aldon ensures that code going into production meets pre-assigned testing requirements. This consistent and efficient approach to application development greatly reduces human error and saves time.
The LANSA suite of tools is ideal for multi-platform application development. Working in conjunction with Aldon Lifecycle Manager (IBM i Edition), LANSA developers quickly and efficiently create high quality code for IBM i, Web, Windows, and Client/Server applications.
