Description

COBOL Colleague revolutionizes outdated COBOL systems by employing deterministic AI and knowledge graph technology to decode, document, and clarify vital business logic with an accurate understanding, eliminating any room for hallucinations or uncertainty. It effectively translates legacy code into easily understandable Business Functions, providing teams with a trustworthy framework to comprehend their systems' operations, identify the location of business rules, and assess the impact of potential changes. Rather than dedicating months to the manual documentation of systems, COBOL Colleague automates the preservation of institutional knowledge by dissecting code, thereby unveiling comprehensive business functions that encompass every derivation, condition, and dependency influencing each output field. Its unique analysis unravels intricate COBOL constructs like REDEFINES, CALLS, PERFORMS, and GOTOs, separating data transformation logic and generating natural language documentation that can be easily shared among both technical and business stakeholders. This innovative approach not only enhances understanding but also streamlines communication between teams, ultimately fostering a more efficient development process.

Description

eXplain is a robust tool developed by PKS Software GmbH for code analysis and the assessment of legacy systems, specifically aimed at performing in-depth evaluations of legacy applications on mainframe platforms like IBM i (AS/400) and IBM Z. This software allows organizations to gain insights into their software's contents, structural integrity, and identifies components that may be retained, improved, or phased out. By importing existing source code into a standalone "eXplain server," the tool eliminates the necessity for installations on the host system, utilizing sophisticated parsers to scrutinize programming languages such as COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, Natural, RPG, and JCL, along with information pertaining to databases like Db2, Adabas, and IMS, as well as job schedulers and transaction monitors. eXplain creates a centralized repository that functions as a knowledge hub, from which it can produce cross-language dependency graphs, data-flow diagrams, interface evaluations, groupings of related modules, and comprehensive reports on object and resource usage. This enables users to visualize relationships within the code, enhancing their understanding of the software landscape. Ultimately, eXplain empowers organizations to make informed decisions regarding the future of their legacy systems.
