Aldon Lifecycle Manager for iSeries is an iSeries (AS/400) change management system designed to bring control, automation, tools and information to the software maintenance and development process.
Aldon Lifecycle Manager for iSeries frees programmers from the repetitive, clerical tasks like change documentation, data file conversions, object copying and creation, etc., so they can focus on application development and innovation.
When you are ready to move an object or group of objects, Aldon Lifecycle Manager for iSeries knows:
- Where to find them and where to move them; you just specify the object selection criteria
- How to create them and what authority assignments are necessary
- What dependent or prerequisite objects also must be created or moved
- What data conversions must be performed (and does them automatically)
- Whether change documentation is required (and automatically creates the documentation)
- Who is authorized and accountable for the move.
- All you need to do is request the move -- It will find the right copy of each object and do all of the work. Programmers, operators and managers are freed to perform more important and more interesting tasks -- like creating new applications!
According to manufacturing experts, the key to improving the quality of any product is to create a manufacturing process for the product that is structured, repeatable and measurable. Aldon Lifecycle Manager for iSeries helps you apply that concept to software maintenance and development by bringing process control to the art of programming.
You decide:
- What process your code must follow
- What documentation must be done
- Who is authorized to perform which object movement functions
- Any other rules you want applied to the move to production process
- Once you identify the process you want code to follow on its way from
concept to production, Aldon/CMS will automate and enforce that process
and ensure all of your standards are met.

- Fewer midnight emergencies
- Less time wasted redoing things that should be complete
- More time for new development
