Data Flow Diagram in RAA is missing from ADDI

Data flow : Data flow diagrams for data element or DB2 column used in a program) the way IDz implemented that is to build the RAA in-memory data model from IDz's program parse AST --and-- than call RAA functionality in JARs provided to walk the in-memory model producing a node-and-arcs data flow graph --and-- than rendering results in IDz from the returned RAA graph.

This is also the implementation for IDz uses for control flow walks.

IDz itself does not do any control flow or data flow graph walks.

If / when RAA goes away -- this functionality will have to be moved to the IDz team or provided by the ADDI product.

This was implemented with Jon Gellin and William Alexander of the IDz team.

    IBM Application Discovery for IBM Z is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment. Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This RFE has recently been reappraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this RFE might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this RFE is being rejected at this time. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
