How can this technology help you?
Q&A

6. Introduction

7. 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?

8. 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

9. 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

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

20. export as csv

21. export as json
For extra analysis  

22. sub system statistics

23. demo
Script is in word doc

24. how do we analyze applications?
                          Spoiler - It isn’t easy!

25. 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)

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

27. from source Generated Source code Function call info
Name of program called

28. from source Generated Source code Database access info
Name of DB schema
How it is accessed

29. from application design
Menu structure
Sub System grouping information
Batch entry list
