Challenges to Asset Modernization

We want to reuse key parts of our mainframe applications in a SOA. Where do we start?

We've accumulated decades of changes to our valuable

applications, but we don't have reliable documentation of them

We can't be sure how changes in one part of an application will

affect other parts, so maintenance is difficult and dangerous

We've outsourced our application development;

how do we keep intellectual control of our applications?

We need to change our applications to address industry or government

mandates ... and it's going to take a lot of time and money

The cost to enhance our applications are holding back

top-level business growth

We can't afford to rewrite our mainframe applications as

new web applications

Our applications staff are retiring or moving on, and we are losing

the subject matter expertise

Rational Asset Analyzer – Counts & MetricsGain control of your assets & know what you have

Identify the breadth of technologiescurrently used in the enterprise – using a dashboard or report view

Understand the quality and complexity of your assets

Use the Errors view to identify missing resourcesError rate is an indication of validity of data; also includes tools to help reduce the error rate

Rational Asset Analyzer – Application UnderstandingQuickly understand code with little or no documentation, and

relationships across the enterpriseGroup artifacts into user-defined groupscalled Applications to limit scope to area of interest

Use various types of diagrams for understanding how the application “hangs together”

Use annotations to capture knowledge from SMEs e.g. Business function, description, etc.

Create user-defined relationships for situations where relationships cannot be determined through static analysis

Perform enterprise-level keyword searches

Rational Asset Analyzer – End to End Impact AnalysisReduce time to market & risk of downtime by understanding change

impact upfrontReduce time to determine scope of change whether for new enhancements, or even maintenance efforts

View the metrics for impacted artifacts to determine the risk of change i.e. cyclomatic complexity, lines in file, etc.

Traverse user-defined relationships to determine impacts across platforms i.e. follow dependencies from mainframe to J2EE and back.

Create a “bill of materials” of impacted artifacts by evaluating the details page

Rational Asset Analyzer – Extensible FrameworkTailor RAA to your organization’s needs

Access RAA’s wealth of information using standard web services

Add the support for languages not currently supported using RAA’s documented import file format

Extend RAA with user-defined metrics & counts

Create custom queries, and optionally include them as actions on pages

Create your own Web 2.0 applications and access RAA information using RAA’s REST interface

Rational Asset Analyzer – ScalabilityThe ability to start small and scale up to enterprise-wide usage

RAA is built on the highly scalable Websphere Application Server and DB2 products

It has the potential to handle hundreds of millions of lines of code *

You have the flexibility to start with a small team (10-15 users), or scale up to handle source of the entire enterprise *

Since RAA is browser-based, administration costs are minimized

Client machines do not need to be managed & updatedScaling up is as simple as giving additional users access

Application Server

* Scalability is dependent on the hardware and level of complexity of source code

Rational Asset Analyzer – Synergies

RAA enhances value of other tools

Rational Developer for System z (RDz)

─Combine productivity gains of RDz with the enterprise-level insight in RAA to minimize time-to-market and minimize risk due to lack of visibility into impactedartifacts

Rational Asset Manager (RAM)

─Use RAA to identify artifacts/assets of interest, then use RAM to publish those assets for reuse, and manage/govern the development process around changes to those assets. That is, jumpstart RAM deployments for a quicker ROI.

─Use RAA to perform deeper level analysis for change requests coming in to RAM.
