IBM i Environments

Setting up a CoderFlow environment for IBM i differs fundamentally from a web application: nothing runs in the task container. The application is a green-screen (5250) or Rich Display program served by Profound UI Genie, and CoderFlow proxies to the running Genie server while the agent edits and compiles source on the IBM i.

IBM i setup is built on its own connections, codermake builds, source import, and sync tooling, so the walkthroughs live in the IBM i section. There are two ways to get started:

Set up your own IBM i app

Create the environment, add the repository holding your RPG/DDS/Profound UI source, add an IBM i connection, and configure the build — end to end, for your own application:

Start from a reference app

Prefer to begin from working example source? Import the IBM i reference app — ready-made example source and a pre-supplied connection — build and run it, then copy it into your own repository. A short setup wizard walks you through it:
