iTools integrated development platform
i Series platform application development innovation
As business customer’s business requirements are getting increasingly complex, and application functionality and quality requirements are getting increasingly higher, RPG application development on IBM i-Series is getting harder due to higher programmer requirements and lack of effective management tools.To meet the challenge, IPACS developed the integrated development platform on IBM i-Series. The platform adopted common open development mode using graphical multi-window editor for convenient and flexible debugging. It integrates version management, project process management, maintenance tracking, and automatic documentation generation into one development management environment.
