Agenda • • Introduction Technology How can this technology help you? Q&A 5

Introduction 6

Can you answer these? • • How many Functions and DB Schemas are used in your models? How are your functions connected to your data? – – • • • read, write, update or delete? Complex function groups? Do you know how the call graph looks like? Can you provide statistical information from a user point of view? Can you accurately estimate major projects? 7

No problem you say! • In Plex I have: – – – • Dependency Browser Triple usage Gen and Build call Graph In 2 E I have “U” and 95/96 – – Lists Report 8

Except… • • It takes forever to load, and I can’t export The information is limited and doesn’t show information like lineage I can’t get metrics, so my estimation is a shot in the dark The information is not understandable by my management and business analysts 9

Models are Hard ? • Templates • Inheritance • Generator Secrets • Need to Analyze Model with Source, with Intelligence 10

Introducing CM evolve. IT Speed Export Component Connectivity Metrics Answers! 11

Our goal 12

Technology CM evolve. IT for CA 2 E and CA Plex 13

Feature statistics browse call graph estimate 14

summary statistics • 15

browsers • Menu Browser – Menu as Tree – Show Functions – Show Details • Function Browser – Search Function – Show Details 16

call graph with data access • 17

estimation point • 18

estimation point • Represent function metrics or functions in the call graph as point • Index for non 2 E/Plex audience 19

export as csv 20

export as json • For extra analysis 21

sub system statistics • How many Functions in the call graph group by sub system 22

how do we analyze applications? Spoiler - It isn’t easy! This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC 24

how we do this? • CA 2 E/Plex model is a Black Box • Information we want is available in – Generated Source – Deployed environment – Application design (Model) 25

from model Plex Model via Model API • Model API – Extract Action Diagram text – Get Object information • Action Diagram parsing – Statement count 26

from source Generated Source code • Function call info – Name of program called 27

from source Generated Source code • Database access info – Name of DB schema – How it is accessed 28

from application design • Menu structure • Sub System grouping information • Batch entry list 29

• Analyze One Entry Point, Plex or 2 E, Free! – Analysis Tool Access – Call Graph – Statistics – Data access 30
