Agenda Introduction Technology How can this technology help you? Q&A

Introduction

Can you answer these? How many Functions and DB Schemas are used in your models? How are your functions connected to your data? read, write, update or delete? Complex function groups? Do you know how the call graph looks like? Can you provide statistical information from a user point of view? Can you accurately estimate major projects?

No problem you say! In Plex I have: In 2E I have “U” and 95/96 Dependency Browser Triple usage Gen and Build call Graph In 2E I have “U” and 95/96 Lists Report

Except… It takes forever to load, and I can’t export The information is limited and doesn’t show information like lineage I can’t get metrics, so my estimation is a shot in the dark The information is not understandable by my management and business analysts

? Models are Hard Templates Inheritance Generator Secrets Need to Analyze Model with Source, with Intelligence

Introducing CM evolveIT Speed Export Component Connectivity Metrics Answers!

Our goal

Technology CM evolveIT for CA 2E and CA Plex

Feature statistics browse call graph estimate

summary statistics

estimation point Represent function metrics or functions in the call graph as point Index for non 2E/Plex audience  

export as csv

export as json For extra analysis

how we do we do this? CA 2E/Plex model is a Black Box Information we want is available in Generated Source Deployed environment Application design (Model)

from model Plex Model via Model API Model API Action Diagram parsing Extract Action Diagram text Get Object information Action Diagram parsing Statement count
