Document your applications

Automated documentation of your IBM i applications, no matter how large

X Analysis automatically creates interactive graphical documentation of your entire RPG, COBOL and CA 2E (Synon) application on IBM i (including databases) so you can understand how that application is designed and how data flows through it.

Automated impact analysis

Track ‘where used’ information to know the impact of every code change

Track every iteration of your application, including all associated variables and fields. X Analysis will highlight every object that is impacted by a code change automatically.

Understand your IBM i code

Drill down (or up) to the exact level of detail to understand your RPG, COBOL & Synon code

Understand exactly how your applications and the data within them are connected, and what the rules are within those applications, all the way down to the source code. Obsolete code is highlighted so you can keep applications ‘clean’.
