Familiar, Efficient Interface

If you know how to navigate and customize WDSC, you know how to navigate and customize TurnOver views. By retaining rigorous consistency with the WDSC interface, TurnOver significantly cuts every developer's learning curve.

The user interface for the TurnOver plug-ins exactly mirrors the WDSC GUI.

The TurnOver plug-ins take full advantage of WDSC's graphical environment. Right click for immediate access to relevant options, drag and drop to add items to your worklist, and keep multiple views on your screen so you can simultaneously see any combination of tasks, worklists, source, or promotion requests.

Filtered Views of Your Work
Find what you need more quickly. TurnOver's filtering lets you create views of source and objects by library, object types or attributes. Also filter your tasks by criteria such as priority, status, project, or requester.

Advanced ILE Analysis
TurnOver includes built-in, procedure-level ILE cross-referencing. This useful tool lets you quickly see all of the modules that use an ILE procedure so you can checkout and modify them as needed. When the time comes to compile, TurnOver automatically finds and rebinds all related programs and service programs.

Unique Compile Wizard
When it comes to development efficiency, TurnOver has no equal. Consider the Compile Wizard, which lets you test your changes and your compile process without moving anything out of development. You select the group of objects you want to compile, and the compile wizard does the rest. It organizes the compile and puts everything in the right order automatically. It checks for dependent objects as well as custom compile commands. If your change involves a physical file, it will repopulate the file with your data, recompile associated logicals, and even reapply triggers and constraints. Everything you need is created in development for you, ready to be tested.

Repeatable Automated Promotions
TurnOver makes promotion into test and production environments highly repeatable, easy, and free of surprises. It lets developers define special processing instructions, remembers every detail of each change, and meticulously replicates them in subsequent promotions. You can comfortably delegate promotions to IT administrators to free valuable time for mission-critical design and development tasks.

Fast and Foolproof Recovery

Because you can set TurnOver to archive each item it promotes, regardless of its final destination, you can recover any promotion across your network, immediately, should a problem occur. No more trouble-shooting while users wait for their application.

Easy Transition from 5250
If your 5250 developers plan to move to WDSC, you'll appreciate how much TurnOver shortens the learning curve. With TurnOver, the process, automation, and organization you use in 5250 translate directly into the WDSC environment. You can confidently use WDSC to do real work from day one without having to learn all the intricacies of the IDE. If you run into an obstacle, you can move back to 5250 at a moment's notice and pick up right where you left off.

Support for Java and Other Technologies
Working with Java, JSPs, WebFacing, XML, HTML, or other types of artifacts? Just switch to whatever perspective you use for that work, and TurnOver's version control plug-ins will manage it for you.

Easy Implementation

Unlike other products, TurnOver can be implemented immediately because it works with your existing development environment, however it's structured. With this approach, you can benefit from TurnOver faster and realize your return on investment sooner than with any other iSeries-based product.

Low Cost of Ownership

Once set up, TurnOver performs without fail until you choose to change it. When your requirements do change, you'll understand why SoftLanding's exceptional technical support and generous upgrade policies have marked TurnOver as the best value in Software Management. Just ask existing TurnOver customers who received the WDSC plug-ins as a free upgrade!

You be the judge. Let us show you how efficiently the TurnOver plug-ins work. We're confident that you'll agree — TurnOver gives you the most integrated, intuitive, and comprehensive support available today for even your most complex WebSphere development projects.
