Code analysis helps you understand and optimize your COBOL applications.
Enterprise Developer offers the following types of analysis:
Application Analysis Server
Enterprise Developer enables you to connect to a
Micro Focus
Enterprise Analyzer or
COBOL Analyzer repository and use their application analysis features to analyze and understand the effect of your changes on your application.
Restriction: Application Analysis Server is only available for
local and remote
native COBOL projects on Windows platforms only. It is not supported for programs opened using the Application Workflow Modeller.
Analysis Services
Enterprise Developer enables you to perform a data flow analysis and view the program flow graphs for your code. Data Flow Analysis traces the
incoming and outgoing flow paths of data items. This allows you to see how changing a data item affects the program. Program
Flow Graph is a call hierarchy graph that helps you understand the structure of a program. It shows the call flow for paragraphs
in a COBOL program.
Restriction: Analysis Services are only available for
local and remote
native COBOL projects on Windows platforms only. It is not supported for programs opened using the Application Workflow Modeller.
Rules-based analysis
Enterprise Developer provides a variety of analysis queries (rules) that you can execute on individual COBOL programs or on an entire project
to gain statistics to help improve the productivity.
Restriction: Rule-based analysis is only available for
local and remote
native COBOL projects on Windows platforms only. It is not supported for programs opened using the Application Workflow Modeller.
COBOL Source Information
COBOL Source Information (CSI) provides a quick and easy way of providing you with information about your program when you
are working on it. You enter a query in
the
Quick Browse dialog box and CSI returns the results of the query in the
Search view.
Restriction: COBOL Source Information (CSI) is only supported for native COBOL.
