RE: traditional AS/400 code base CMS transition

I assume by "CMS" you mean source control and not Content Management System.

I think there are two hurdles with using Git for ILE source.
1. Git requires stream files, and ILE source is traditionally stored in source PFs.
2. Traditional IBMi source control often handles things like builds and deployment, while Git is just for source control.

Subject: traditional AS/400 code base CMS transition

So, our company was just acquired by another company with deeper pockets and SoftLanding is asking an arm and a leg now to transfer the CMS to our new company.

So, we are exploring alternatives.

Could have up to 10-20 iseries devs working on the code base (which is large - hundreds for files/tables and thousands of pgms)

Any suggestions?

Is there a sharp learning curve for github enterprise (pro), compared to what we are used to now with TO?
