Extension description

This discoverer detects projects and creates the resulting Analysis Units required for analysis based on the following:

If you deliver Mainframe files on disk (.cob, .jcl etc.), this extension will configure one project for the highest level folder (within the root folder) that contains files with at least one of the following file extensions:
- Cobol: .cob, .cbl, .pco, .sqb
- JCL: .jcl, .prc
- IMS: .dbd, .psb, .tra, .mfs
- CICS: .csd, .cics, .bms, .wsdl
If you deliver PDS dumps on disk, this extension will configure one project regardless of the number of PDS dumps you package.

Any other file types (such as Cobol Copybooks .cpy) stored in the same folder as any files listed above will also be delivered and therefore included in the analysis scope.
