ADDI should be able to identify 3rd party software programs and identify them as UTILIY instead of Load Module. RAA had the capability to identify 3rd party mainframe tools like Easytrieve, Infogix, etc.

This would make it clear to someone doing analysis that no source code would exist for this progam.

AD - Support for GSAM file usage

My customer programs use GSAM for file access so that programs can use checkpoint restart. The files accessed via GSAM are not shown as files on the call-graph. Nor are they shown as IMS databses. Same as the Ideas below. https://ideas.ibm.com/ide...

IMS environments should be implemented for the AD PL1 compiler so AD would show the IBM DBs correctly used in PL1 programs.

Application Discovery (AD) Analyze Client doesn't show IMS DB names correctly in IMS/DB Usage analysis. This is because even though the PL1 compiler in AD Build Client recongnizes PLITDLI calls as calls to IMS databases, PCB parameters from the ma...
