Intelligent analysis and visualization of mainframe programs
Topaz for Program Analysis provides rich visualizations of the interactions between mainframe programs, making it easy for veteran and novice developers alike to quickly understand, update, and troubleshoot even the oldest and most complex mainframe code. With Topaz for Program Analysis, developers can:
- See dynamic, graphical mapping of program-to-program calls
- Pinpoint performance bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and inter-program impacts
- Discover and investigate dependencies across programs and copybooks, without moving code off the mainframe
- Support both COBOL and PL/1 applications
Accelerate program understanding with deep visibility during execution
- Runtime visualizer: Visualize execution, including the ability to save and replay the execution trace
- 3270 emulator: Complete one-off “green screen” tasks within BMC Compuware Topaz
- Dynamic flow charting: Access a flow chart of the program being edited
- Logic flow: Leverage a visual representation of logic
- Data flow: See inputs to and outputs from any variable used in the program
- Assess program-level metrics: Quickly understand the scope of a program though program-level metrics
- View program behavior: See program calls, I/O types and drive edit/browse sessions from the visualization
