1. Leveraging Predict What do you want to document? Mainframe Legacy Systems Web enabled systems Server Platform PC Platform WORD documents Excel Documents Visio Diagrams

2. Information Model What objects can be documented in Predict? What needs to be added? Create a data model for Predict containing vanilla and custom structures

3. Predict Data Model

4. Objects in Predict Vanilla Objects Library Structure System Program Database File Element Relationship Descriptor Verification Rule Keyword User/Owner Custom Objects Construct Model Construct Frame Construct Exit Job Step Proc Subsystem Module Report Business Rule Xtra Link

5. Customizing Predict UDEs – User Defined Entities Built in capability in Predict Supported in new versions of Predict Can interface with vanilla objects Retrieval models can be created UDEs are available for access via Natural Accessed via SYSDICMA – Predict Meta- Data maintenance

18. Predict is Central

19. Additional Documents Word Documents Extended Descriptions Outlines Source Information Definitions Excel Documents Values Definitions Source Information

20. Diagrams Visio Diagrams ERDs DFDs BPFs Structure Charts Source Information

21. Usage of Xtra Documents Hyperlink Location Format Standards Use Upload information? Download information? Destination and Interpretation Development vs. Production

22. Updating Predict Uses Word Form and Entire Connections to interface with Predict. Word Form invokes Entire Connections via ActiveX control. Data input into script which “keys in” the information. Script watches for error messages and transmits back via Word Form. Allows Predict to maintain data “as expected” in the files.

23. Updating Predict Word forms are used to: Enforce Standards Meet Predict requirements Define hyper-links to external documents Move to Production Process Forms and Xtra docs may be “saved” until completed. Forms and Xtra docs “submitted” to DA for review. Forms and Xtra docs “registered” through move to production approval process. PAC used to control Predict information.

24. Using Existing Docs Uses Word Macros to extract information. Uses Excel Macros to Extract information. Visio Macros extract information. Extracted information placed in formatted text files. Files used as input to Entire Connection scripts.
