Mainframe Analyzer

Support for links from JCL to Java

Support has been introduced for situations where JCL batches are executing Java. A new Mainframe object has been added for this situation:

Example code that is now taken into account:

//LMGHWRLD JOB (MY,ACCOUNTING,INFO),'HELLO WORLD', 
//   CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H,REGION=0M,NOTIFY=&SYSUID     
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=JVMLDM60,                        
//   PARM='com.foo.bar.HelloWorld'      
//STEPLIB  DD DSN=<MY.LIBRARY.PATH>,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                               
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                               
//STDOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                               
//STDERR   DD SYSOUT=*                               
//STDENV   DD *                                      
. /etc/profile                                       
. ~/.profile                                         
export CLASSPATH=~/HelloWorld                        
for i in ~/HelloWorld/*.jar; do                      
    export CLASSPATH=$i:$CLASSPATH                   
    done                                             
//

Support for links from JCL to SQL

User Input Security

The User Input Security feature has been updated and improved as follows:

AIPCORE-1925 - User Input Security is now able to detect security violations in Spring JDBC framework applications.

Architecture Models

Architecture Models attached to an application are now saved in the Dashboard schema during the snapshot computation, this is so that the graphical representation of the model can be reproduced in the CAST Engineering Dashboard along with the results of the associated rules (metrics). This is in preparation for a future release of the CAST Engineering Dashboard where this feature will be implemented.
