Updates

Framework identification

A new set of nodes is now available in Levels 4 and 5 which represent the different frameworks of the application. This functionality allows you to identify the level of adherence of the framework within the application and evaluate the level of effort that might be required to decommission this framework. A specific focus has been done on the different frameworks provided b Apache, Google, Amazon and Spring.

Application Management portal improvements

• Importing Application data for Applications that already exist in CAST Imaging will now cause a data merge to be performed - so new objects may be visible and existing objects may be removed or updated.
• The existing back/next/skip buttons have been removed and navigation through the import process is achieved via the navigation buttons:

Known issues and vulnerabilities

• At the current time, it is only possible to extract data from an Analysis Service which contains one single Application.
• Not all objects and links from the Analysis Service schema are loaded in CAST Imaging (i.e. nothing below Java class). Only link type implemented are "references" for links between concept nodes and call links between objects.
• No count of number of objects for Transactions view
• No double click on Edge on level 5 view for Transactions scope
• Expand features and double click(Investigation) do not work in saved views
• No ability to restrict viewing for users who should not see all applications
• Applications containing the following technologies cannot be imported into CAST Imaging at the current time:
  
  • PeopleSoft
  • Siebel
  • Informatica
• When using the Save View functionality: if nodes have been grouped together (using the Grouping feature) before the view is saved, when the saved view is subsequently opened, instead of displaying the "grouped node" icon to represent the grouped nodes, the nodes themselves will be displayed on top of each other.
