Description

Once you've successfully decompiled an assembly, it's possible to save it as a Visual Studio project file (.csproj), which can significantly expedite the process of recovering lost source code from older assemblies. dotPeek offers the capability to locate local source files using PDB files, or alternatively, to retrieve source code from various source servers like Microsoft Reference Source Center or SymbolSource. Additionally, dotPeek functions as a symbol server, providing the necessary information to the Visual Studio debugger for effective assembly code troubleshooting. Many features of dotPeek are derived from ReSharper, including both contextual and non-contextual navigation options, usage searches, and various views for code structure and hierarchy. You can utilize the Find Usages feature to track down every instance of a symbol, whether it be a method, property, local variable, or another type of entity. The Find Results tool window is particularly useful, as it allows you to organize usages, easily navigate among them, and access them directly in the code view area. Overall, dotPeek proves to be an invaluable tool for developers dealing with legacy code and assembly management.

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.
