How to Google Your Way Through Mainframe Applications

• Ami Sadeh, CTO of In-Com Data Systems

21

Using Search to "Google™" your way through the SDLC &

Find, Select, and Check-out everything you needwith the press of a single button

using

SMART TS XL™ A proven Search, Impact, and Analysis Solution

for the Mainframe and all Other Platforms

Some other users of SMART TS XL for SDLC…

Using Search to "Google™" your way through the SDLC & Find, Select, and Check-out everything you need

with the press of a single button

As stated at Xchange2015 opening session – USER FRIENDLY TOOLS are a requirement if they are to be used.

We need to Easily “GOOGLE” entire corporate repositories, across all platforms, all languages, all systems in single simple interface.

We want the SEARCH and SDLC to complement each other, mitigate risk, and execute in seconds – not hours/days/weeks

24

STARTING A PROJECT / TASK

When starting to work on a project – there can be many ways

to determine which programs, components and elements will

need to be part of the SDLC & PACKAGE. Building the package

can be driven by:

Using Search to "Google™" your way through the SDLC & Find, Select, and Check-out everything you need

with the press of a single button

25

1. Business rules

a. Locate all programs with specific business logic

b. Where are we moving certain values to certain fields

2. Field Change

a. Locate all programs related to a specific field

b. Field can change name, length, type

3. CopyBook/Program Change/Merge/Removal

a. Locate all programs related to a specific copybook

4. DSN structure modified

a. Using JCL PROC and PARM – locate programs related to the DSNs

5. CICS area length change

a. The area transmitted between programs has grown or been modified

6. Based on Previous packages

Using Search to "Google™" your way through the SDLC & Find, Select, and Check-out everything you need

with the press of a single button

26

No matter what the starting point is, a truly powerful search and analysis tool

must offer results in split seconds.

Not only that – but we want to search the entire repository at once, no matter

what platform, language or system.

In addition – searches should support all the bells and whistles available today like

BOOLEAN, PROXIMITY, RANGES, SYNONYMS, REGEX and more.

And… What would REALLY BE NICE is if one could take those search results, and turn them into a ChangeMan package with a single click of a button……

Expectations from the LIVE DEMO ….
