Analysis & Productivity Tools

Unlocking critical knowledge on the IBM i

The knowledge and information contained in your organization’s business software has been accumulated over many years and is extremely valuable. This information covers the operation, metrics, and design of the software but is often tantalizingly just out of reach.

Accurate and current information about an entire system can greatly improve the productivity of your IT staff and reduce maintenance costs by eliminating the need to research, catalog and assemble the information manually for each service request or modernization project. 

X-Analysis is the foundation for any decision you need to make about the applications running on your IBM i. Complete, automated analysis and documentation coupled with impact analysis smooth the path to efficient, well-managed development and increased productivity.

X-Analysis key features:

  • Automated graphical documentation: abstracts code implementation and makes it easy for IT to visualize and understand application design and flow.
  • Powerful impact analysis tracks “where used” information starting from a single field or variable through all iterations and associated variables and fields.
  • Extraction of relational data models from RPG/COBOL/SYNON facilitates database modernization and re-engineering efforts.
  • Extraction of business rules from RPG/COBOL enables IT to cross-reference, consolidate and store business rules, exposing the business logic that forms the nucleus of the application.
  • Design, quality and complexity metrics help IT measure and track program complexities against established benchmarks such as Cyclomatic, Halstead, and Maintainability Index.
  • Automated RPG/COBOL/SYNON and DB Conversion allows IT to transform legacy assets into modern languages and databases quickly, and without exposing the business to risk.
