Any system modernization initiative starts naturally with the database. One of the primary reasons for this is that in a business application, 80% of its architecture and domain fit is determined by the architecture of the data model. X-Modernize provides full DDS-to-DDL conversion functionality, with impact analysis and a full range of options to benefit from modern database technology on IBM i.

Module X-Audit

X-Audit enables managers of legacy applications to measure, monitor and proactively manage the complexity of and changes to their applications. X-Analysis Professional is used with X-Audit to provide the cross-referenced repository of your applications. X-Audit helps you

• Understand where the most complex code in the system resides and plan accordingly
• Audit the difference between versions of a system at a design level not just code
• Be alerted to potentially harmful system conditions and defects before they cause production problems
• Track changes in new versions of packaged applications to plan for refitting customizations
• Externalize rules so they can be shared by multiple applications
• Compare versions of your custom applications at different points in time to track where changes were deployed

Key analysis features of X-Analysis Professional

Application mapping

Complete cross referencing of all objects, screens, source and variables across the entire application

Variable tracing technology

Trace variables across programs, files, screens; not only variables but also their derivative variables

Interactive graphical diagramming

Intuitive GUI with color-coded diagrams for developers to examine program structure, drilldown, cross-reference, all with integrated source code browsing

Great reasons to use X-Analysis Professional to better understand your IBM i applications

IBM i applications: heavily modified software without a complete library of test cases or specifications. Building on X-Analysis, the world''s leading IBM i code analysis toolset, we have developed the industry-leading approach to testing IBM i applications.

Through proprietary static analysis algorithms, X-Rules automatically extracts, cross-references and stores business rules implemented in your applications

 

Building a repository of business rules saves valuable time and money in reengineering and rewrite projects, package replacement projects and ongoing legacy maintenance activities as well

• Facilitates analysis and portability of business logic
• Makes business logic more accessible to end users and business analysts
• Lowers the cost of developing and modifying business logic
• Facilitates reuse of proven logic
• Externalizes rules so they can be shared by multiple applications
• Improves architecture by further separating UI, database, and business logic layers
