Overview

This manual describes how to install and configure Micro Focus Enterprise Analyzer (EA), a suite of software products for analyzing and modernizing legacy applications.

Enterprise Analyzer provides insight into the technical reality of complex application portfolios, including

• Tools for application and program level understanding, utilizing extensive metrics, reports, diagrammatic views and querying tools to support myriad of business initiatives.
• Quality Assessment with standard code quality queries to serve as a guidance to a code quality practice in both development and maintenance phases.
• Portability Assessment to help you generate various HTML reports to identify points of interest for migrations.
• In depth analysis tools to promote efficiency in the performance of daily tasks such as field changes, understanding of data propagation through a program, and dead code removal.

Business Rule Manager mines business logic from program code and encapsulates the logic in business rules.

While all products are installed with Enterprise Analyzer, each product is licensed separately.

EA is deployed in a multi-user environment with access to a common repository of application objects. Repository setup is the responsibility of a master user, leaving team members free to focus on their tasks. The database for the repository is assumed to be the customer's own.

EA installations consist of the following components:

• The EA Server which hosts EA workspace files and related support files.
• EA Clients which host the link files used to connect to workspaces on the server.
