Jira and COBOL: The Unexpected Bombshells Stirring Up Your Toolchain

Welcome to “Love Island: Mainframe Edition,” where legacy meets modern and sparks finally fly

Meet our longest-running couple: Jira and the software running on your mainframe. They’ve been in a complicated relationship and still “exploring their connection” with late-night copy-paste dates and some serious miscommunication. Their friends (aka your developers) are tired of the drama.

But just when you think it’s the same old story, a hot new bombshell walks into the villa:

ConnectALL, the smooth-talking integration platform that gets mainframe workflows and Jira truly in sync.

Making moves doesn’t have to be hard—When you’ve got the right connection

Let’s be honest: working across modern Agile tools and mainframe systems has been… messy:

• Manual handoffs
• Lost tickets
• Developers playing detective to trace job status
• And Jira trying to keep up, without any idea what your mainframe is whispering behind its back

That’s where ConnectALL brings the romance (and the automation).

Why ConnectALL is the bombshell that changes everything

Smooth integration = instant chemistry

ConnectALL bridges the gap between software running on mainframes and modern tools like Jira. Whether you're tracking job control language (JCL), batch job statuses, or dependencies across mainframe workflows, ConnectALL makes work item flow feel natural.

Transparency = no more secrets

Bringing mainframe activity into Jira lets teams finally see what’s happening…live. No more mystery jobs, black-box handoffs, or version control guesswork.

Insight = relationship growth

With ConnectALL, teams don’t just move work faster, they understand how everything fits together. From mainframe to microservices, devs get the full picture.

Use cases so good, even the producers are shocked

Here’s what you unlock when mainframe and Jira finally couple up:

Modernization assessments

Map your legacy workflows into Jira to spot what’s ready for modernization—and what should stay steady. ConnectALL helps surface legacy dependencies that otherwise go unnoticed.

Impact analysis

Visualize how changes to mainframe jobs or dependencies affect downstream systems, right in Jira. No need to guess what could break—know it before it happens.

Automated documentation and knowledge transfer

ConnectALL syncs and logs work item flow and system lineage—reducing reliance on tribal knowledge as seasoned mainframe experts retire.

True cross-team collaboration

With real-time visibility into legacy workflows, Agile teams, architects, and mainframe experts finally speak the same language.

Faster debugging

Trace issues across systems instantly. With ConnectALL, you're not chasing logs—you’re resolving root causes.

Builtin audit support

ConnectALL automates the flow so relationships, changes, history is updated, making compliance and audits less stressful and more consistent.

Final coupling ceremony

If your engineering org is still stuck with disconnected tools, duct-taped workflows, or frantic Slack threads to figure out what’s happening with mainframe-related work… it’s time to re-couple.

This summer, don’t just swipe right on better tools.

Bring mainframe and Jira together once and for all with ConnectALL.

Because love shouldn’t be manual.

And neither should your integration.
