How IBM i Applications Participate in the AI Ecosystem with Dynamic MCP Servers
Dmitriy (Dima) Kuznetsov, Chief Product Officer, Programmers.AI
AI agents and chatbots are increasingly using the MCP protocol to access application data and business logic. This session shows how IBM i applications like CA Plex and CA 2E can expose their functionality through dynamic MCP components, enabling seamless integration with AI-driven automation and workflows.
Solving IBM i Git DevOps Pain Points for IBM i (CA Plex and CA 2E) Teams
Stuart Milligan, Solutions Architect, Midrange Dynamics
Adopting Git-based DevOps on IBM i creates unique challenges for teams working with applications like CA Plex and CA 2E. These challenges often involve synchronizing model artifacts and managing generated code alongside traditional source code. This session highlights these key pain points and offers practical strategies to overcome them. Learn proven methods for smoothly integrating Git into your IBM i workflows across CA Plex, CA 2E, and conventional development.
Speed Up QA of Modernized IBM i Applications
Roger Hammer, Dir of Products and Services, CM First Group
Modernizing IBM i applications including CA Plex and CA 2E into new technology stacks requires extensive regression testing to ensure functional equivalence. This session explores automation techniques for comparing 'as-is' and 'to-be' workflows, UI behavior, and database interactions, dramatically reducing QA time and cost. Learn how automated comparison accelerates delivery and increases confidence during modernization
