Abstract

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for an integrated mainframe distributed orchestration tool. The present invention is configured to receive an indication that one or more source code modules have been uploaded to a source code repository, wherein receiving the indication automatically triggers a compile operation on an automation server; initiate the compile operation on the automation server, wherein the compile operation comprises transforming the one or more source code modules into one or more standalone software artifacts executable on a mainframe data processor, thereby providing a landing zone for the mainframe data processor; initiate a compile operation of the one or more standalone software artifacts on the mainframe data processor to generate an executable build; and export the executable build to one or more repositories.

First claim

1 . A system for integrated mainframe distributed orchestration, the system comprising:
at least one non-transitory storage device; and at least one processing device coupled to the at least one non-transitory storage device, wherein the at least one processing device is configured to:
receive an indication that one or more source code modules have been uploaded to a source code repository, wherein receiving the indication automatically triggers a compile operation on an automation server;
divide each of the one or more source code modules into one or more sub-divided source code modules;
initiate the compile operation on the automation server, wherein the compile operation comprises transforming the one or more sub-divided source code modules into one or more standalone software artifacts executable on the mainframe data processor, thereby providing a landing zone for the mainframe data processor, wherein transforming further comprises converting the one or more sub-divided source code modules into an intermediate language capable of representing machine level, functional, procedural, and object oriented programs, wherein converting further comprises parsing the one or more sub-divided source code modules to determine a structure associated with the one or more sub-divided source code modules, wherein the structure comprises variable names, function/method names, function overloading/overriding, and additional information capable of resolving any ambiguity in the one or more sub-divided source code modules;
optimize the structure of the one or more sub-divided source code modules to remove redundancy, wherein optimizing further comprises replacing at least a portion of a code associated with the one or more sub-divided source code modules with optimal code equivalents;
combine the one or more optimized sub-divided source code modules into one or more optimized source code modules;
convert the one or more optimized source code modules from the intermediate language into the one or more standalone artifacts capable of being executed on the mainframe data processor;
initiate a compile operation of the one or more standalone software artifacts on the mainframe data processor to generate an executable build;
export the executable build to one or more repositories;
receive one or more scope changes from an external server;
determine one or more work items based on at least determining the one or more scope changes; and
transmit control signals configured to cause a user device associated with a user to display the one or more scope changes and the one or more work items associated with the one or more scope changes.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to:
initiate an automated code scan on the one or more source code modules in response to receiving the indication that the one or more source code modules have been uploaded to the source code repository.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the automated code scan performs an inspection of the one or more source code modules with static and dynamic analysis of code to detect bugs, code smells, and security exposure.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to:
retrieve the executable build from the one or more repositories; and execute the executable build on one or more test machines.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to:
receive an indication that the executable build has been exported into the one or more repositories; and trigger an automated test subroutine based on at least receiving the indication that the executable build has been exported into the one or more repositories, wherein the automated test subroutine is configured to automatically execute the executable build on the one or more test machines.

6 . (canceled)

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to:
receive from the user device, one or more source code modules associated with the one or more scope changes; and upload the one or more source code modules associated with the one or more scope changes to the source code repository.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to schedule a deployment of the executable build to one or more nodes associated with the mainframe data processor.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processing device is further configured to:
determine a location of the one or more nodes; and deploy the executable build to the one or more nodes associated with the mainframe data processor based on at least determining the location of the one or more nodes, wherein deploying further comprises deploying the executable build as a secure software package to enable secure system administration and file transfer.

10 . A computer implemented method for integrated mainframe distributed orchestration, the method comprising:
receiving an indication that one or more source code modules have been uploaded to a source code repository, wherein receiving the indication automatically triggers a compile operation on an automation server; dividing each of the one or more source code modules into one or more sub-divided source code modules; initiating the compile operation on the automation server, wherein the compile operation comprises transforming the one or more sub-divided source code modules into one or more standalone software artifacts executable on the mainframe data processor, thereby providing a landing zone for the mainframe data processor, wherein transforming further comprises converting the one or more sub-divided source code modules into an intermediate language capable of representing machine level, functional, procedural, and object oriented programs, wherein converting further comprises parsing the one or more sub-divided source code modules to determine a structure associated with the one or more sub-divided source code modules, wherein the structure comprises variable names, function/method names, function overloading/overriding, and additional information capable of resolving any ambiguity in the one or more sub-divided source code modules; optimizing the structure of the one or more sub-divided source code modules to remove redundancy, wherein optimizing further comprises replacing at least a portion of a code associated with the one or more sub-divided source code modules with optimal code equivalents; combining the one or more optimized sub-divided source code modules into one or more optimized source code modules; converting the one or more optimized source code modules from the intermediate language into the one or more standalone artifacts capable of being executed on the mainframe data processor; initiating a compile operation of the one or more standalone software artifacts on the mainframe data processor to generate an executable build; exporting the executable build to one or more repositories; receiving one or more scope changes from an external server; determining one or more work items based on at least determining the one or more scope changes; and transmitting control signals configured to cause a user device associated with a user to display the one or more scope changes and the one or more work items associated with the one or more scope changes.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:
initiating an automated code scan on the one or more source code modules in response to receiving the indication that the one or more source code modules have been uploaded to the source code repository.
