Editing CMS Pipelines (section)

==History==
John Hartmann, of IBM Denmark, started development of ''CMS Pipelines'' in 1980.<ref>[http://www.leeandmelindavarian.com/Melinda/25paper.pdf VM and the VM Community, Melinda Varian]</ref> The product was marketed by [[IBM]] as a separate product during the 80's and integrated in VM/ESA late 1991. 
With each release of VM, the ''CMS Pipelines'' code was upgraded as well until it was functionally frozen at the 1.1.10 level in VM/ESA 2.3 in 1997. Since then, the latest level of ''CMS Pipelines'' has been available for download from the [http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline CMS Pipelines homepage] for users who wish to explore new function.

The current level of ''CMS Pipelines'' is included in the [[z/VM]] releases again since z/VM 6.4, available since November 11, 2016.

An implementation of ''CMS Pipelines'' for [[Time Sharing Option|TSO]] was released in 1995 as BatchPipeWorks in the [[BatchPipes|BatchPipes/MVS]] product. The up-to-date TSO implementation has been available as a Service Offering from IBM Denmark until 2010.

Both versions are maintained from a single [[source code]] base and commonly referred to as ''CMS/TSO Pipelines''. The specification is available in the Author's Edition.<ref>CMS/TSO Pipelines Author's Edition [http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/pipeline.pdf Author's Edition]</ref>

You can also find open source implementations in [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and [[Swift (programming language)|Swift]].<ref>{{Citation |last=Edwards |first=Craig |title=edwardaux/Pipelines |date=2023-11-01 |url=https://github.com/edwardaux/Pipelines |access-date=2025-03-24}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Edwards |first=Craig |title=edwardaux/Pipes |date=2022-01-13 |url=https://github.com/edwardaux/pipes |access-date=2025-03-24}}</ref>
