Our developers use the tool for application development.

We are using the Topaz Workbench to replace file access, browsing, and editing  activities currently done in ISPF.  Also using XPEDITER in Topaz to debug programs.

Our primary goal wasn't using Topaz Workbench. Our primary goal was to satisfy people in cyber security roles. We just included it because people were using the product a little bit here. What we did was rolled everything up, taking all the plugins from other third-party vendors into the Eclipse state, then put those in as plugins.

With our environment, we have taken the core clutch open source software and added a third-party vendor plugin into Eclipse. We use the Topaz Workbench, but not for any insights in the programs. The software that we have today is still a basic level mainframe software integration in the total Eclipse environment. We haven't taken advantage of any new features or tools which are out there for any Eclipse-based tools.

We use it with mainframe. I'm a mainframe systems programmer, so we install the Compuware product onto the mainframe for our end users.

It's an optional feature that our users are able to use for mainframe development and data analysis.

The primary use is programming, database design, and development.

Our use case is debugging using Xpediter.
