The solution guarantees the correspondence of the source and executable code (integrity) as well as automates the compilation processes. It also has other uses, such as automatic customization of JCLs/PROCs, and validation of standard names in PGMs, PROCs, JCL, PARM, etc.

It offers a single package of changes for mainframe and distributed and has reversal contingency and DRP.

There is a generation of environments to enable different stages of development and on-demand (DESA, UAT, and CRVL - Pre-production).

Primary use case would be that our application developers use Endevor for managing their mainframe software. They take their source code and they add it in to Endevor, and Endevor translates that source code into an output executable, and then from there it would get deployed to the various development areas, QA areas, and then finally to production.

Mainframe Release Systems Engineer at Jack Henry & Associates

We use it for source code management. We use it to basically keep our applications that we use day-to-day, month-to-month, and week-to-week, all up-to-date. We use it to move it through those areas and manage it for auditing purposes, like dev, QA, production, etc. Our developers use it to build code in those different stages and move it forward.

We use it for version control in the mainframe area.

It's been great. To be honest, we use GitHub for enterprise for the distributed world, and we use SCM for the mainframe world. So far, I've looked around as well. I've not seen a computer that's close to Endevor in terms of performance, scalability and capability.

Infrastructure Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

It is a tool the mainframe programmers use to do their work. If they need to make a change to a program, they go into Endevor and they check out a copy of the program. Then, they make their changes and check it back into Endeavor, and it gets built or compiled into whatever the language is. When they want to move a copy of it to QA for testing, they use Endevor to do that. Also, when it is time to go into production, they use Endevor to do that. The programmers do all their work through Endevor, and it is their bridge between development and production.
