Gaining better visibility and insight into applications is a catalyst for accelerating modernization and transformation. As an essential application discovery tool, IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence for IBM Z (IBM ADDI) 6.1.2, is now available for you to analyze and visualize applications with enhanced efficiency and productivity. Read this blog to learn about the new features and enhancements that are made available in ADDI 6.1.2.

IBM Application Discovery

  • Enhanced Java™ analysis support.
    • Added the support of Cross Applications Analysis from Java to Mainframe. Now you can provide a configuration (.json) file with defined APIs to build and analyze the project and to view the Mainframe calls from Java projects through the Cross Java To Mainframe Call Graph option. For more information, see Cross Java To Mainframe Call Graph.
    • Enabled the analysis of Cross Java To Mainframe Call Graph and Java Call Graph in all layers of Graph Inventory views. You can start the analysis wizard from Explore projects, Packages, Classes, and Methods views.
    • Enhanced secure communications between Wazi Proxy and Wazi Analyze Docker Engine. For more information, see Configuring Docker Engine for Remote Access with TLS.
  • Enhanced AD Configuration Admin Dashboard with automation and improvements on security:
  • Enhanced Control-M Usage features and provided more instructions around Control-M reports. With the enhanced Control-M Usage functionality, you can check Control-M sources (applications, folders, and jobs), analyze the Control-M report with filters, and export the report. For more information, see Control-M Usage Settings and Control-M Usage.
  • Updated the call chain Rest API with a new query parameter info. You can use the info query parameter to conduct call chain analysis to get the source type and path for all the involved programs. For more information, see Generating call chain analysis results by using API URLs.
  • Added a new progress log to track the status and duration of IBM AD Project Build that is performed in headless batch modes. For more information, see Checking the log files of components.
  • Improved Flow Chart and PL/I dynamic resolution algorithm.
  • Added support for saving project properties from command line interface with IBM AD Build. For more information, see II. Description of the IBM AD Build Client Batch Commands.
  • Added support for Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11. For more information, see Supported Platforms and Versions.
  • Removed the ADDI Extensions component and the following services or features from the ADDI product:
    • Business Rule Discovery services
    • Analyze Server relevant services
    • Java legacy features
  • Removed all mentions and instructions about Linux®/zLinux support from ADDI documentation.
