The IBM Application Discovery Curriculum
▪ Module 1 – Product Overview, Terms, Concepts and Vocabulary
▪ Module 2 – Eclipse Navigation and Introduction to Call Graphs
▪ Module 3 – AD Detailed Analysis Reports
▪ Module 4 – Resource Usage (Where Used) and Text Search

This module contains Hands-On Workshops – which should be completed after you
have finished participating in the presentation/demo. To do the labs you will need
access to an AD Client and Server. Note that AD setup (installation/configuration) are
not part of the training. Ask your instructor for references to AD experts.
You will also need some level of IDz/Eclipse experience, in order to navigate and
manipulate (resize, maximize, etc.) the AD Views and tooling

Note:
• You may use an IBM zTrial virtual machine or your own AD server image loaded with
your own production code for these workshops.
• Because we have no idea what programs/files/etc. exist in your AD Projects – the
workshops can have been written as open-ended directions – which refer to the AD
Tooling you will learn – but not to specific files/DSNs
3

Launch IBM Application Discovery using VM-Ware or IBM zTrial
You will start AD from: Windows > All Programs
Or you may have placed an icon to AD on your desktop/toolbar
Or you may be using a virtual machine (VM-Ware,Citrix, etc.)
Log in using credentials provided by your instructor

For base eclipse you can use:

IDz v14 and later
ADFz v3 and later

Eclipse Terms and Concepts: Workspaces
▪ If you launch eclipse (IDz) from your desktop it may prompt you for a "workspace"
▪ A workspace is a folder on your workstation that contains eclipse/IDE usage,
preferences, connections, etc.
▪ Your development features and settings
▪ Your AD Server connection information
▪ The saved-state of your workbench
▪ Your instructor, AD Administrator or project team lead will let you know what
folder to select

 Hands-on Workshops – Discovering Mainframe Graphs – 1 of 4
▪ Log into your AD Analysis Server:
If you are using zTrial:
▪ Look for the note from the IBM zTrial team – which contains your ID/PWD
▪ Login to the zTrial machine
If you are using your own AD Server – launch AD

You will most likely need to launch IDz - from Windows

 And open the Application Discovery Perspective
▪ From IDz Preferences menu:
– Open Window  Perspective  Open Perspective  Other… Application Discovery Browser
▪ Navigate the views
▪ Manipulate the views
– Expand/Contract them
– Maximize and Restore the views
▪ Note what’s in the Eclipse menus
▪ Utilize the Context (right-click) menu
Window  Perspective  Reset Perspective
is incredibly important for Eclipse work
Reminder:
• You may be using an IBM zTrial virtual machine – or you may be using your own AD Server loaded with your shop’s
development or production code
• Because we have no idea what source code is in your AD Projects – the workshops have been written as open-ended
directions – referring to AD Tooling but not to specific files/DSNs
42
Hands-on Workshops – Discovering Mainframe Graphs – 2 of 4
Having logged into AD – do the following with the tools and source Projects
stored in the AD Repository. Please close each of the Graphs views after
you’ve finished the respective Use Case below:
Use Cases…
1. Select an AD Project – if you are using the IBM zTrial image, the Hospital Project is
a good choice for your initial product discovery experience.
2. From the right-side Toolbar; expand Explore and use Explore project to discover Remember that you

what specific Resource types and individual files are stored under each category Double-Click to use a Tool

Try out the Resource type pull-down

Try out the Name filter to refine the lists:
3. (Optional) Find a BMS Map, and view its screen layout
4. Select an AD Project then select Dataset Flow. Then select one or more QSAM - VSAM files.
Use the Analysis Details dialog to render different levels of file usage and to different depths
If you are using zTrial, analyze these 5 files using Shift+Left-Click to select all of them at once:
DDS0001.TRMEDERR,DDS0001.TRMTDATA,DDS0001.TRMTEDIT,DDS0001.TRMTSORT,DDS0001.TRMTSRT
5. Select an AD Project and use the Flow Chart tool to analyze a Program’s logic flow.
Experiment with the following tools while using the Callgraph:
 Graph Overview and the Inventory view – Expand a statement type, and select a specific statement
 Zoom
If you’re using zTrial CDAT1 is a good
 View Menu
43 choice for the Flow Chart tool
Hands-on Workshops – Discovering Mainframe Graphs – 3 of 4
6. Select an AD Project select Screen Callgraph, then select one or more BMS Maps. Use the
Analysis Details dialog to render different levels of map usage – and to different depths.
Experiment with the following toolbar items:
 Legend
 Check out each of the Layout options:
 Zoom
 The Graph Inventory & Graph Overview views
7. Use Transaction Callgraph to analyze one or more online transactions. Experiment with the
same views & toolbar items as the last two exercises. The Circular layout
is particularly useful when dealing with Transaction graphs
 Also use the functionality of the Inventory and Overview views
 Note that if you are using your own code, extremely large & complex transactions will require you
to Filter and/or limit the graph results: Callgraph limits and Call Direction
8. Use the Program Callgraph tool to analyze one or more transactions. Again note that if
you’re looking at your own AD Project that has hundreds-to-thousands of programs you will
need to filter the names.
9. When the Callgraph is instantiated, use the Zoom tool and Graph Overview to navigate and
inspect the graphic information presented.
 Also Right-Click on an icon, and check out one or more of the Context Menu options
 Right-Click on top of several different types of Callgraph elements
 View the original analysis source using the Context Menu If you’re using zTrial MSTRUPDT is a
44 good choice for Program Callgraph
Hands-on Workshops – Discovering Mainframe Graphs – 4 of 4
10. Use the Job Flow graph to analyze one or more batch Jobs (if you are using zTrial try BNCHMR2).
Use the Graph Overview and Graph Inventory views for navigation
11. From inside the Job Flow Callgraph, Right-Click on the Job name and select:
 Usage in Jobs  Dataset Usage in Jobs
▪ This cross-references the DSN within Job Steps
 Look through the Results
 Expand and select an FD
 Double-Click Dataset Usage in Programs
▪ This cross-references the DSN usage in programs
throughout the selected AD Project

If you’re using your own AD Server

the DSNs will be different but the tools
and functionality are the same
