Software Development is like any other task.

You want to reach your destination

as fast and efficiently as possible



In any activity there are Challenges…

Your equipment may not be the best

It can be tough to find the right path

The route may have challenges and restrictions

Some tasks may be burdensome or difficult to manage

there are Challenges…

Dated, siloed environment with steep learning curve, unappealing to new talent, not designed for modern applications and software delivery practices

Decades old applications with text-based UIs and brittle architecture, many dependencies (documented and undocumented). Billions of lines of 3GL code run daily

Isolated teams, using disjointed tools and processes that don’t support dynamic collaboration, project governance, or traceability, resulting in reduced quality and slower time to market

Deploying modern complex applications requires coordination of many tasks and offers many opportunities for failure

… and in the IBM i world there are Solutions

A modern efficient IDE. Attractive to new users and empowering for existing users

Use tools so that anyone can analyze and visualize the application software

Break down the silos with an integrated infrastructure managed by a single tool

Automate the complex tasks to reduce errors and speed delivery

ARCAD-AuditARCAD-Audit : Application Clean upClean your inventory before loading it into Rational Team Concert

16

Identify and clean up:

•Multiple occurrences of the same source,

•Which objects are really used in production environments,

•Source without objects - either object losses or unnecessary source,

•Objects without source - a problem if you wish to modify a related component,

•Sources with a date later than the object - components whose executed object is not at the same level as the source,

•And, of course, unused objects



ARCAD-ObserverARCAD-Observer : Application AnalysisMulti-platform cross-referencing, visualisation and reporting

17

Trace all the inter-relationships between IBM i components (program or file) and other open-system components (Windows, AIX, or Linux) from your IDE.
