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.

Description

vFunction revitalizes Java applications while streamlining the transition to the cloud. It enables the swift and automatic extraction of efficient microservices from intricate monolithic systems. The platform offers a unified interface that oversees and monitors comprehensive cloud migration and modernization initiatives across an entire application portfolio. Its modernization dashboard orchestrates the complete migration process, facilitating decisions on whether to refactor, retain, retire, replatform, or rewrite applications. While your cloud transformation efforts are progressing, challenges remain in advancing application modernization endeavors. It’s essential to assist teams in overcoming obstacles and accelerating their progress. With the mounting demand for modernization, relying solely on lift and shift strategies is insufficient. These legacy applications present significant challenges for refactoring, yet leveraging automation and analytics can simplify the modernization of even the most complicated applications. Embrace the opportunity to tackle more intricate projects with confidence, knowing that you have the right tools at your disposal.
