EZ Source is an Applications CMDB (Configuration Management Database) that fully automates detailed analysis, understanding and technical documentation for Enterprise Application Management. Underpinning improved flexibility and functional improvements, integration and SOA enablement, support and upgrades, EZ Source provides immediate business value and IT process improvements
Synchronizing with your source configuration management system, it contains a full inventory of your Application components and their details. By visualizing the internal Application structure, dependencies and relationships, EZ Source is an indispensable tool for support activities as well as a precursor to undertaking enhancements and modifications. It is designed for use by all technical staff as well as having management components for transparency into Application metrics. |
| How does it work? |
EZ Source correlates the relationships between the different Application components and automates the production of technical documentation. It operates across multiple languages and environments, producing consistent understanding and measurement. Through its ability to parse the different Application components (for example, source code, OS scripts, include files, screen maps, transactions, messaging system data, Application servers data, etc) and then visualise the internal Application structure and dependencies, users can select their starting point to navigate across or drill down as required in order to precisely determine the scope and level of analysis.
This Application CMDB functionality is complemented by a rich choice of visualisation and reporting options so users can precisely define the scope and depth.
Many different options are provided to visualise the analysis according to requirements and results. For example, a particular analysis may reveal complex interdependencies with different types of components, so EZ Source has user definable dependency levels, filtering and visualisation layouts in order to achieve optimum understanding. In all stages in the analysis, EZ Source synchronises with the source code so developers can understand exactly how functions are performed. |
