Business Rules Extraction
|
|
| TKASER@ATPCO.NET 2006-03-20, 6:55 pm |
| As our company converts our mainframe legacy applications to an open
architecture, the need to extract our business rules or even to
identify their location, is great. I am looking for any insight for an
automated tool that will help us document our Cobol, DC Cobol and even
ADSO code as we reengineer our applications. I currently have a list of
three potential candidates from Software Mining, SEEC and CAST that
would seem to meet a least a portion of our requirements. Has anyone
used these tools or could suggest others that would contribute to this
effort? Are there any 'best practices' that have been developed? What
were your expectations and were they realized by these or any other
tools? What constraints or unexpected obstacles were found? Any
thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

| You might want to check out Relativity as well. We have the product but are
just beginning to experiment with the business rule extraction component.

You might want to take a look at our Revolve product line, which is
now part of Micro Focus Studio. (That product packaging won't be GA
until later this spring, but that's where you'll find the description
of Revolve and Revolve EE on the microfocus.com site.)

Our Business Rule Manager (part of Modernization Workench) is, to my best knowledge functionally richer than these other tools. I have 10+ years in this field and 6 with Relativity. IBM recently OEM'd this technology after extensive field trials of competitor products. This same product is called Asset Transformation Workbench. |
