Abstract
Using methods and systems consistent with the present invention, deprecated logic entities of a business application may be identified using an object-oriented model of the business application. By transforming business application structures into object-oriented structures, deprecated logic entities in the business application may be exposed using object-oriented referential integrity checking.
Claims20
A method of analyzing a business application, comprising:
- receiving a model representing logic entities of the business application;
- processing the model using a code compiler to identify a possible exception in the model;
- and
- correlating the possible exception in the model to an unused logic entity in the business application.
A method of analyzing a table-based business application, comprising:
- receiving an object-oriented model representing logic entities of the table-based business application;
- processing the object-oriented model using an object-oriented code compiler to identify a possible exception in the object-oriented model;
- correlating the possible exception in the object-oriented model to an unused logic entity in the table-based business application;
- and
- displaying an indicator of the possible exception together with the object-oriented model to depict the unused logic entity in the table-based business application.
The method of claim 9, wherein the possible exception is one of a dead pointer and an orphan.
A system for analyzing a business application, comprising:
- a receiving component configured to receive a model representing logic entities of the business application;
- a processing component configured to process the model using a code compiler to identify a possible exception in the model;
- and
- a correlating component configured to correlate the possible exception in the model to an unused logic entity in the business application.
The system of claim 17, wherein the possible exception is a dead pointer.
The system of claim 17, wherein the possible exception is an orphan.
