What is eXplain?

eXplain is a powerful solution crafted by PKS Software GmbH designed for analyzing code and evaluating legacy systems, particularly focused on conducting thorough assessments of legacy applications on mainframe platforms, such as IBM i (AS/400) and IBM Z. This software provides organizations with valuable insights into the software's structure, content, and helps identify which components could be retained, upgraded, or deprecated. By allowing users to import existing source code into a dedicated "eXplain server," the tool removes the need for installations on the host system and employs advanced parsers to analyze several programming languages, including COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, Natural, RPG, and JCL. Additionally, it examines relevant information from databases like Db2, Adabas, and IMS, as well as job schedulers and transaction monitors. eXplain establishes a centralized repository that acts as a knowledge repository, generating cross-language dependency graphs, data-flow diagrams, interface evaluations, groupings of related modules, and detailed reports on resource and object utilization. This functionality enables users to visualize the interrelationships within their code, thereby deepening their comprehension of the software ecosystem. Furthermore, by providing a clearer understanding of their legacy systems, eXplain equips organizations with the tools needed to make strategic decisions about their software's future. Ultimately, the tool enhances operational efficiency and drives informed technological advancements.

What is CodeLogic?

Establishing connections between various applications, forecasting the repercussions of code modifications, and comprehending intricate Java and .NET codebases—from APIs to databases—is essential. By integrating runtime and binary analysis, a comprehensive graph of the application architecture can be constructed. Gaining insight into the potential effects of code alterations prior to deployment enables precise project scope estimation. Additionally, integrated development environments (IDEs) can assist in uncovering unrecognized software references across multiple projects and applications. However, many tools, including IDEs, typically only disclose dependencies relevant to a single project. In contrast, CodeLogic reveals concealed dependencies that exist between applications and their databases. Our methodology stands apart as we merge binary scanning with runtime profiling, forming a searchable, real-time record system for both database dependencies and code. This intelligence equips application development teams with the ability to evaluate the consequences of schema and code changes ahead of their implementation in a production environment, ultimately leading to more informed decision-making. The ability to visualize these relationships not only enhances understanding but also streamlines the development process significantly.
