Logic Mining’s objective is to build a set of rules at the business level so that management of the rules can be placed in the hands of the business. With this in mind, a collection of operational code fragments alone are not enough, although if your objective is to migrate from one code language to another then this initial part of the Logic Mining process will be of value. Logic Mining helps you build business level rules that can be loaded in a business rules engine, used as the specification for a rewrite or package implementation, redeployed as part of a services oriented architecture, or used to direct your Business Process Management system.

Logic Mining handles COBOL applications including where appropriate screen definitions, databases, job control language, transaction processing systems files etc.

Logic Mining supports most key mainframes and open languages and products embedded inCOBOL environments. Please contact us if you have any specific questions. The flexibility of evolveIT means that we can extend support to cover most environment extensions with little additional effort or cost.

If you have a non-COBOL system that you would like to mine for business rules, look out for our new version of Logic Mining or contact us for more information.

• Load source code of application to be analysed
• Logic Mining immediately tells you what code (if any) is missing
• Code is automatically analysed to produce a detailed semantic model
• Suggested mining start points are identified by Logic Mining and displayed
• Start points are tagged and searched as seams
• Potential rules site are automatically shown
• Analysts classify rule sites including duplicates and variations
• Trace model is created and source code marked
• Trace model ready for export
