Asset modernization Challenge of managing knowledge assets

• A diverse application portfolio evolved over many

years and understood by few• Complexity hindering the ability to gauge the impact

of code changes resulting from new requirements• A lack of documentation that limits reuse of

existing business rules embedded within code

• An inventory of existing highly stable code that

embodies enterprise business intelligence• Ability to understand and manage application

complexity and change by making dependencies visible• Identify and document existing business rules and

business processes

What you have… What you want…

CICS IA WSAA & RTW

Primary target customers

CICS Transaction Server customers, who need detailed understanding of their CICS applications (same business drivers as WSAA & RTW)

CICS customers with a Sysplex who need workload management for high availability

Target audiences within these accounts: system analysts, system programmers, testers

Enterprise customers with a large portfolio of mainframe applications and the requirement to transform these applications and the development process associated with them.

Target audiences within these accounts: business analysts, system analysts, developers, testers

Primary use of products by customers

Identify the runtime application behaviour and resource usage in CICS. Provides accurate and detailed information about the workloads run in a particular region. Resource relationships can also be viewed by application (user-defined). Mainly used for understanding, splitting workloads across multiple regions to enable high availability of CICS.

Rapid application understanding, impact analysis across the application (and the enterprise), and assisted transformations of specific programs. Provide a common point of access to this application metadata. Particularly used for modernizing legacy applications with development tools like RDz.

How does the product work

Runs in the CICS production regions in real time, records CICS commands and associated data Source code is not required

Scans in the source code into a repository for interactive or batch analysis.

Type of information provides

CICS – runtime view of bindings (e.g. program autoinstall and ISC), and application behavior including CICS calls into related subsystems (DB2, IMS and WebSphere MQ) from CICS. Includes resources associated with transactions, programs, Basic Mapping Support (BMS) maps, files, TSQs, TDQs, 3270 Bridge facility, Web Services, CorbaServer, and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs).

View of enterprise on-line and batch applications and their program and data interdependencies based on analysis of the source code and sub-system configurations. Multiplatform (z/OS and distributed (Java EE))For CICS regions, ttransactions, programs, BMS maps, PDS, CICS TSQs and TDQs, I/O record descriptors

Product Architecture

ISPF administration of runtime collectorsData stored in DB2 on z/OSPrimary user interface: ISPF panels, batch reports, Eclipse client GUI

Administration through ISPF panels and Web-browserData stored in DB2 on z/OSWebSphere Application Server provides user interface and impact analysis enginePrimary user interface: web browser; custom batch reports possible

Comple-mentary positioning

Can be positioned complementary to WSAA to gain additional buy-in from the Application Developers, and increase chances of closure.However, system programmers should already be on board.

WSAA provides …a view of application relationships not observed by the runtime collectorsInformation about non-CICS assets (e.g. batch programs) with dependencies on CICS programs and data stores

CICS IA can add value for the tasks analysts and developers using WSAA and RTW by providing additional information for a “fuller picture”:When source code is missingReal-time control flow, as in CICS control flow can be changed in runtime via exits, so CSD and the source code do not necessarily reflect the realityTo identify ‘potentially’ dead code for further investigation. CICS IA shows when a resource was last used

Filling out the picture

WSAA shows dependencies defined in the source; dependencies determined at run-time remain invisible

CICS IA observes running systems and shows dependencies traversed; those not traversed while CICS IA was “observing” remain invisible

This branch was dynamically determined;

Filling out the picture

With both WSAA & CICS IA, we can find both, giving developer-analysts a fuller view of their dependencies

But we still can’t guarantee that we can find everything: unless CICS IA “observes” a dynamically-determined dependency, it remains invisible.

Both branches are found when we
