Layout

The Overview section provides detailed information about the Application - information is derived from an analysis/snapshot, therefore the section will be empty if no analyses/snapshots have been run for a given Application. The section contains several "boxes" each providing different information. Each box is described in detail below.

Application ID card

This box provides a quick ID information about the application:

Name	The name of the application.
Domain	The name of the domain (see Administration Center - Applications) the application is assigned to. If the application is not assigned to a domain then '-' is displayed.
Number of versions	Number of versions added for the application.
Onboarding date	The date the application was created in Console.
Last processing date	The last time any action (job) was processed for the application.

Architecture Map

This section provides information about the architecture of the application in two separate sections:

Source code architecture
Technologies

Source code architecture

This section displays, by default, a graphical representation of the Version's source code before an analysis is run. This view is built once the the Version has been delivered and the source code has been "discovered". The view's primary aim is to help check the completeness of the source code that has been delivered.

All links between blocks are based on supposition only. Final architecture from an analysis may be different.

Toggling the Before analysis switch will change the display to show a graphical representation of the source code when an analysis has been run (if an analysis has not been run, this display is not available).

Items marked in green confirm expected elements (technologies, frameworks, and links).
Items marked in blue denote an additional element that has been identified during the analysis.
Items in dashed white show an expected element that has not been found during the analysis.
Numbers correspond to the number of occurrences of the item that have been found.
DL refers to "Direct Link".

Technologies

This section displays a treemap of the technologies have been discovered automatically by Console. The size of each rectangle/square is proportionate to the number of files discovered in each technology. If the Set as current version action has not yet been executed, no "discovered" technologies will be displayed.

Frameworks

This section displays a treemap of the frameworks have been discovered automatically by Console. If the Set as current version action has not yet been executed, no "discovered" frameworks will be displayed.

Analysis Reports

This section provides a report on analyzed/not analyzed files for the current version:

Click to enlarge

File Extensions	A list of file extensions found in the delivered source code. Extensions are grouped by technology/language - and the extension that is displayed by default (the primary extension) is the extension with the largest number of files in the delivered source code. Other related file extensions that are found will also be displayed alongside: For the Mainframe - JCL technology, the extension .prc is not considered part of JCL language (in the vast majority of cases, these files do not contain any JCL related code), so files with this extension will be ignored in the analysis report.
Technology/Language	Technology or language of the file as detected by Console.
CAST Extensions	The CAST Extension Console has used to process the file. Note that some primary file extensions may be listed as processed with multiple extensions. For example the .js file extension will appear twice: once with com.castsoftware.html5 once with com.castsoftware.jee.
Fully Analyzed	The total number of files of this type that were analyzed during the most recent analysis process. This number is taken directly from the analysis schema in which the analysis results are stored, in other words this number reflects the number of files that were saved as part of the analysis process. In Console ≥ 2.4, files classed as external (third party libraries etc.) or generated can be included in this figure as well as internal files (previous releases never included external files). In Console ≥ 2.9, .uax/.uaxdirectory files resulting from a CAST Database extraction will be included in the Fully Analyzed count.
Not Analyzed	The total number of files of this type that were sent for analysis by CAST Console but were not analyzed during the most recent analysis process (e.g. they were not saved in the results): Click to enlarge Clicking the number will display the following dialog box, providing a list of all the unanalyzed files: Click to enlarge When the Node uses AIP Core ≥ 8.3.52, a reason (where possible) will be given in the Reason column: These reasons correspond to Project Exclusion Rules set via the File Filter button (see above) for onboarding with Fast Scan: ...and via the Project Exclusion Rules screen when using onboarding without Fast Scan. in Console ≥ 2.4, files classed as external (third party libraries etc.) or generated can be included in this figure as well as internal files (previous releases never included external files). In Console ≥ 2.9: files that require preprocessing such as .castextraction files resulting from a CAST Database extraction or PDS Dump files will be included in the Not Analyzed count. alerts will be generated about unanalyzed files which can be customized where required - see AIP Console - Job Progress panel and Configuring unanalyzed alert thresholds.
View Logs	Clicking this icon will direct you straight to the "Run analysis" log files.
	The search option allows you to filter for specific text. The search functions on the columns File Extensions, Technology/Language and CAST Extensions:
	Click to download the report as a .CSV file. When opened in Microsoft Excel (or equivalent), two tabs are available: Source Files Analysis Summary : displays an overview, i.e. the same data available in Console UI. Details: displays a list of files with their primary file extension, their technology, the list of CAST extensions that support the technology, and the status (excluded, analyzed, not analyzed).

Clicking a number in the list will open a popup with more details about the files:

To make results easy to use, some files are ignored and are not listed in this report:

all files with extensions that are not associated directly to a programming language (all resources or data languages for example, or project files like xml, http or json).
all files with patterns such as .git, .svn, node-modules, org-eclipse, CCAU\.abap, IP\.abap
special files like package-info.java, *CT.abap, *CP.abap, hh, h++, hpp, hcc, h, hxx, ph
files resulting from CAST Datbase extractions such as castextraction or uaxdirectory, because they are not currently directly associated with a language or extension.

Delivery Indicators

This section lists any indicators that are generated during the source code delivery for your version. They are designed to help you validate the delivery of the source code:

Click to enlarge

Indicator	See list of available indicators below for more information.
Value	The value generated for the given indicator. Can be a value, ratio or a percentage.
Status	Status of the indicator - the more stars the better the results.
Remedy Action	Click to view a suggestion for how to improve the result in the next source code delivery. For example:
Details	Some indicators store results in a CSV file - click this option to download the CSV file. This can help you work out why a poor result has been produced, for example. CSV files are generated and stored on the node in: %PROGRAMDATA%\CAST\AipConsole\AipNode\snapshot-indicator\{appGuid}\{snapshotGuid} Where details are not available, the option will be greyed out.

Alerts denote issues in source code delivery that can disturb or prevent the analysis and therefore that can impact the results. Review the source code delivery and package to resolve the issues. Go to the Versions page to see the list of alerts for the version:

in the Value column , if the number of alerts > 0, a link (e.g. See alerts) takes you directly to the alerts.

Reports

This section will display any report that has been generated during the analysis/snapshot. All reports can be downloaded using the option highlighted below:

Value2
Name	Official name of the report.
Value1	These two values are generated during the snapshot/analysis. These will help understand what information the report is providing. For example, for the ALV Report: Automatic validation of dynamic links : 87.5% > this number indicates the percentage of dynamic links that have automatically been validated. Number of remaining link to manually validate: 1 > this number indicates that there is only one dynamic link to manually inspect.
Status	Indicates whether the report was generated correctly.
Execution date	The date the report was run.
File type	Resulting file generated by the report.
Detailed report	Option to download the file containing detailed information about the report.

Reports are primarily generated by the installation of an extension - for example, in the screenshot above:

an Unanalyzed Code report has been generated. This is provided through the Unanalysed Code Report extension. Out-of-the box, this extension is set to "force install" - see Administration Center - Extensions Strategy / Administration Center - Settings - Extensions Strategy
an Automatic link validation report has been generated. This is provided through the Automatic Links Validator extension. Out-of-the box, this extension is set to "force install" - see Administration Center - Extensions Strategy / Administration Center - Settings - Extensions Strategy. In addition, this extension is automatically installed when you choose any Objective when delivering source code.

Analysis Results / Snapshot Indicators

This section displays a set of indicators for a given analysis or snapshot. These indicators are designed to provide basic information quickly so that the snapshot can be validated. The indicators are generated during an analysis or a snapshot in a dedicated step and (from Console ≥ 1.26) can be generated on-demand manually (see below):

This feature is enabled "out-of-the-box" in Console ≥ 1.20.x. A new analysis/snapshot must be generated before any indicators are visible.

The feature can be disabled if you are using an older release - see Configuring Indicators.
You can enable and disable individual indicators in Administration Center - Settings - Analysis Results Indicators - this requires the global "Admin" role.

Categories filter	This drop down filters the Indicators in the list by category. By default, all categories are displayed in the list.
Show all indicators	By default this toggle switch is disabled, which means only Indicators that have a positive value (displayed in the Value column) will be displayed. All indicators which have "N/A" in the Value column will be hidden. Enable the option to show all Indicators regardless of their Value.
Snapshot selector	Choose the snapshot you would like to view indicators for. By default the most recent snapshot for the Application will be displayed.
Search	Use this to search on the Indicator name.
Recompute indicators	This option enables you to download Microsoft Excel reports containing detailed information about the indicators in each category: If All Categories is selected (see option above) then a ZIP file will be downloaded containing the relevant XLSX files - one per category If a specific category is selected, then a XLSX file will be downloaded. The file name used for the ZIP file and the XLSX files will contain a time stamp using the following format: `<year><month><day>_<hour><minute><second>`. The time stamp is generated when the Download button is clicked. Excel file report contents The first sheet has information related to application name, snapshot name, snapshot date and category for which this report is generated. It also contains a summary for all the indicators belonging to that category i.e. name, description, thresholds, value, status, details, remedy action and justification. The indicator value is computed along with status which is a star rating based on the thresholds of that indicator. The details column contains the hyperlink to the details sheet of that indicator.
Download report	This option is available in Console ≥ 1.26 and enables you to recompute the indicators without needing to generate an entire new snapshot/analysis. The option is only available when the most recent snapshot is selected in the snapshot selector Justification entered for the indicators is retained after recomputation Any actions that modify analysis data will be reflected in the indicator results after recomputation.
Indicator	See list of available indicators below for more information.
Value	The value generated for the current snapshot. Can be a ratio or a percentage. For some indicators when only one snapshot exists, the value may be N/A, for example: for indicators measuring the variation between two snapshots, the value will be N/A on the first snapshot for the Large SCC count indicator the value can be N/A when no option is set in the Analysis schema to count the large SCC, so the indicator can not be calculated.
Status	Status of the indicator - the more stars the better the results. Rolling the mouse over the stars will show the thresholds required to improve:
Justification	Justifications can only be edited for the most recent snapshot. If the snapshot selector is changed to a historic snapshot, the field becomes read-only. A free text field enabling you to enter a justification for the result. Free text is saved and is retained for the next snapshot that is generated. For example: Do you agree? Is the coverage as expected? ≥ 2.9 Use the icon to add a new justification explanation: And enter the justification in the pop-up: The icon changes to indicate a justification has been added: Older releases Enter the justification in the field itself.
Remedy Action	Click to view a suggestion for how to improve the result in the next snapshot. Any links are clickable. ≥ 2.9 Remedies are displayed in line: If they are larger than the available space, rolling the mouse over them will display the full text in a popup: Older releases Click the icon to display the full text of the remedy:
Details	Some indicators store results in a CSV file - click this option to download the CSV file. This can help you work out why a poor result has been produced, for example. CSV files are generated and stored in the following locations: ≥ 2.2.0 \\share\aip-node-data\common-data\snapshot-indicator\{appGuid}\{snapshotGuid} ≤ 2.1.0 - on the Node %PROGRAMDATA%\CAST\AipConsole\AipNode\snapshot-indicator\{appGuid}\{snapshotGuid}

If percentage not within required range, then AIA needs to review the transactions, identify entry/end points, identify missing links or provide justification on objects in technical side if they are actually valid. If invalid, then take necessary actions to include them as valid.
Snapshot	Complete Transactions with only end point	Percentage of complete transactions with no data entity (only end points). Associated details contain the complete transactions that do not access any data entity.	3: <=30% 2: >30% and <=50% 1: >50% and <=70%	List of complete transactions that do not access any data entity but only end points	Check if data storage part has been delivered. If yes, then check if it is expected to have transactions with no access to these data entities.
Analysis only	Data entities used by transactions	Percentage of data entities accessed by transactions. Associated details contain list of data entities not access by any transaction.	3: >=90% 2: <90% and >=70% 1: <70% and >=50%	List of data entities not accessed by any transaction	Review the source code delivery with regards to the transaction configuration. Check missing links and validate with application team if it is normal these data entities are not accessed by any transactions.
Analysis only	Incomplete transactions	Percentage of incomplete transactions (that do not access any data entity and end point). Associated details contain transactions that does not access any data entity or end point.	3: <= 10% 2: <= 30% and > 10% 1: <= 40% and > 30 %	List of incomplete transactions	Review data entities and associated transaction configuration rules. Investigate the incomplete transactions and justify if they are valid incomplete or not. If possible, add custom end points to make the incomplete transactions valid.
Snapshot	AEFP/AEP (known as "Part of functional enhancement" in v. ≤ 1.18)	Percentage of AEP that are related to the functional part of the application.	3: >= 70% 2: >= 50% and < 70% 1: >= 30% and < 50%	N/A	Validate with application team the goal of the version. Check if new components or technologies have been added or if existing components or technologies have been removed. Add new entry/end points to cover isolated objects in transaction. Check the list of Technical Points and justify if those are actually technical objects.
Analysis only	Programs/Classes in transactions	Percentage of programs and classes involved in transactions. Associated details contain programs and classes that are not involved in any transactions.	3: >= 50% 2: >= 30% and < 50% 1: >=10% and < 30%	List of containers not involved in transactions	Review the source code delivery with regards to the transaction configuration. If the value is not within the required range, then you should review the transactions configuration, Identify entry and end points, identify missing links or provide justification on objects in technical side if they are actually valid. If they are invalid, then take necessary actions to include them as valid.
Snapshot	TF / DF weight Ratio	Ratio between Transactional Functions weight and Data Functions weight. Associated details contain DF that are not involved in any TF.	3: >=2 and <4 2: ( >=1 and <2 ) or (>=4 and <5) 1: (>0 and <1) or (>=5 and <6)	List of DF that are not used by any TF.	Check transaction configuration rules. Review incomplete transactions if any. Review DF that are not used by any TF.

Technical information about Indicators

When a snapshot is deleted all the indicators for the snapshot along with the generated CSV files are deleted. In addition, the consolidation action launched when a snapshot is deleted will only deal with Dashboard schema indicators for the next two snapshots if they exist. During consolidation, any justification text is retained for each indicator.
Snapshot Indicators are also deleted when a version and an application are deleted.

If one of the indicators fails, Console logs the error and continues computation for the next indicator:

If the indicator step fails we log the error and proceed to the next step:

Similarly if consolidating indicators fail for a reason we log the error and delete snapshot step is completed successfully. If any indicators are skipped during the process, the log will include information about the reason the indicator has been skipped:

<enabled>false</enabled> : Indicator xx skipped because it is disabled.
<needFplicense>true</needFplicense> : Indicator xxx Skipped because it needs the FP license.
<enhancementMeasure>EFP</enhancementMeasure> : Indicator xx skipped because it needs enhancement measure EFP
<enhancementMeasure>AEP</enhancementMeasure> : Indicator xx skipped because it needs enhancement measure AEP

Technical aspects

The information provided in this panel is generated by internal tools as follows:

≥ 2.10: The CAST Profiler (https://profiler.castsoftware.io/) engine is used - this aligns CAST Console with CAST Profiler and brings improved scanning performance over the Framework Detector. Note that CAST Profiler will be silently and automatically updated whenever a new release of CAST Profiler is published. This is achieved as follows: a check for updates will occur roughly 1 minute after the Node service has been (re-)started, then every 24hrs. In addition, a check is made each time the "SAVE" button is pressed in Administration Center - Settings - CAST Extend (whether a field has been changed or not).
≤ 2.9: The Framework Detector is used.
