The Lite version of X-Analysis has a set of proven analysis features and three of the most popular functions from the enterprise versions.
Databorough, a leading vendor of tools for IBM i, has announced the Lite version of X-Analysis, its flagship product for analysis, documentation, design recovery, and re-engineering tools for the System i.
X-Analysis Lite is Databorough’s response to industry demand from the broad community of smaller IBM i shops whose users enjoy X-Analysis functionality but may not have the budget for an enterprise version. The Lite version of X-Analysis has a set of proven and powerful analysis features along with three of the most popular and productivity enhancing features from the enterprise versions, the company said. These include Application Mapping, Variable Tracing Technology, and Interactive Graphical Diagramming that currently provide critical functionality to thousands of RPG and COBOL developers worldwide using X-Analysis 8 on IBM i. X-Analysis Lite also comes with bi-directional interfaces to IBM’s WDSc and RDi products, as well as standalone versions for traditional SEU users. An introduction discount for upgrades from Hawkeye is available, the company said.
IBM is now hosting a configuration of X-Analysis Lite on the IBM Enterprise Modernization Sandbox for i. To access this, click on Sandbox:
Application Mapping builds a complete map of an entire application and stores it in a readable DB2/400 database library. All objects are cross referenced first, and then every single source member of any type is parsed and mapped down to individual variables and how they relate to other variables, not just fields. A number of X-Analysis users, ISV’s, and partners have already developed their own add-ons and services using the Application Map Repository.
Variable Tracing Technology uses the Application Map to programmatically trace variables and fields across an entire system. This means that impact analysis for changes can be done for multiple levels, or variants of a field or variable, in a single inquiry. This unique X-Analysis feature has saved many companies thousands of person hours in analysis time. See the company's Case Studies for details. It is also one of the key features that prompts users of legacy tools, such as Hawkeye, to upgrade, the company said.
Interactive Graphical Diagramming is the most commonly used and popular feature of the X-Analysis suite. Developers, analysts and support teams can see structure and process in interactive, graphical color-coded diagrams. It has drill-down capability into color-coded source browsing and navigation through diagrams across the entire application--“GPS for legacy applications,” as one user described it.
Running on RPGII/III/IV/Free, CL and COBOL on IBM I, X-Analysis Lite is available direct from Databorough or through the company's extensive partner network.
