IBM WebSphere Studio Asset Analyzer for Multiplatforms Version 3 Release 1 provides functions for analysts and developers to understand enterprise assets, enhance them, and enable their enterprise applications for their on demand environment. Working applications can be an IS organization's biggest asset. Reusing application constructs helps accelerate application development through the life cycle by requiring less new code and reusing previously tested code. WebSphere Studio Asset Analyzer assists IT personnel with the maintenance and extension of existing assets through impact analysis, connector building assistance, and application understanding. It helps enterprise customers modernize their existing enterprise assets and skills for on demand development by providing knowledge about their static environment (finding and reusing application code and the components that connect that code), and their dynamic environment (understanding what code is executing in run-time environments). The book is divided into three parts: Part 1, "Introduction to Websphere Studio Asset Analyzer for Multiplatforms" presents a general overview of WSAA. In this part, we cover what this product is and what it does. We provide you with an introduction to the product by showing you key elements of the Web browser interface. We also describe the roles and responsibilities of the various support personnel and key end-users of the product. Part 2, "Working with WSAA" presents more specific, hands-on information for working with WebSph

This IBM Redbook describes the functions, features, and uses of IBM WebSphere Studio Asset Analyzer for Multiplatforms Version 2 Release 2. Part 1 presents a general overview of the product. In this part, we provide you with an introduction to the product by showing you key elements of the Web browser interface. Part 2 presents more specific, hands-on information for working with WSAA, including: - Product administrator functions, which include collecting inventory to load into the database and how to maintain it - Project manager tasks, which include exploring general and detailed aspects of a sample application - Application developer tasks, which include how to use WSAA to make specific changes to an application Part 3 contains summary and reference information. WebSphere Studio Asset Analyzer is a powerful tool that can help your site's application development teams to better understand your legacy mainframe and distributed applications. It can give your organization a firm foundation to help you transform these legacy applications to on-demand Web services.

The ability to connect components is the first step in modernizing your application portfolio. In this IBM Redbook, we look at a real-world example of creating and connecting a Web application to Enterprise business logic using the Struts-based model-view-controller (MVC) framework and associated tooling within WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer that makes this a snap. To address the needs of large enterprises, a model-based paradigm for building applications in a Struts-based MVC framework is being delivered in the Enterprise Developer. It provides a visual construction and assembly-based environment supporting the implementation of enterprise-level applications and including support for the multiple developer roles and technologies required by those applications. Examples of the technologies supported include HTML, Java, servlet, EJB, COBOL, EGL, PL/I, and connectors. EGL is a high-level language that supports the development of applications in either WebSphere (Java) or traditional transactional environments (CICS). EGL's focus is to allow developers of various backgrounds to be able to write mission-critical business processes for the Internet, which can be leveraged from Struts-based Web applications. This redbook introduces a sample application that encompasses Enterprise Developer concepts and best practices.
