Compatibility

CAST Imaging Core release Supported
8.3.x ✔️

Download and installation instructions

The extension will be automatically downloaded and installed in CAST Console when at least one RPG type file is delivered for analysis. You can manage the extension using the Application - Extensions interface.

Prepare and deliver the source code

When the extension is downloaded and installed, you can now package your source code and run an analysis. The process of preparing and delivering your source code is described below:

Source code preparation

Before the RPG source code can be delivered and then analyzed, it needs to be collected from the proper iSeries libraries and transferred to the designated location. During this operation, each artifact (program, CL, DSPF) must be put into a single file only. This will result in a single artifact per file. Furthermore, the type of source code must be expressed using the extension to the file. The appropriate file extensions are listed in the following table.

Source code is kept in a member of a file. The file is kept in a library. Each file can have many members. Each member is the source code for a program. The source code files can have any name but conventionally the names start with Q and end with SRC, for source.

Source code type iSeries library Required extension Used in MetaModel
RPG-III programs QRPGSRC *.rpg, *.rpg38 RPG300
ILE RPG Programs QRPGLESRC *.rpgle RPG400
ILE RPG Programs with SQL QSQLRPGLESRC *.sqlrpgle RPG400
Copy source members QCPYLESRC *.cpyle RPG400
CL programs QCLSRC *.cl, *.clp, *.cl38, *.clp38 CL400
ILE CL Programs QCLLESRC *.clle CL400
Display Files QDDSSRC *.dspf, *.dspf38 DDS400
Printer Files QDDSSRC *.prtf, *.prtf38 DDS400
Logical Files QDBSRC *.lf, *.lf38 SQL Analyzer/DDS400
Physical Files QDBSRC *.pf, *.pf38 SQL Analyzer/DDS400

The RPG Analyzer is able to autodetect RPG III versus RPG IV, so there is no difference in using *.rpg or *.rpgle. What is very important is to distinguish between Display, Printer, Logical and Physical files using the specific file extensions listed in above table.

What about IBM Db2 for i source code?

In previous releases of the RPG Analyzer extension, when IBM Db2 for i source code was delivered, a dedicated extraction process was launched within the RPG Analyzer to transform this source code into a format that could be analyzed. Starting in release ≥ 3.1.x, the RPG Analyzer is no longer responsible for analyzing source code from IBM DB2 for i. Instead, this task is undertaken by the com.castsoftware.sqlanalyzer (release ≥ 3.5.4 is required).

There is no change to source code delivery process when using AIP Console - the IBM DB2 for i source code should be delivered together with the RPG source code and AIP Console will be able to detect this type of source code and create the necessary Analysis Units. For those using legacy CAST Management Studio/Delivery Manager Tool, the source code delivery process has changed and is explained below.

IBM Db2 for i is also known as DB400.

Deliver the source code

Using CAST Imaging Console

RPG is supported in CAST Console ≥ 1.22.

Note about using RPG ≥ 3.1.0 with AIP Console 1.22, 1.23, 1.24 and 1.25

RPG ≥ 3.1.0 does not function correctly with CAST Imaging Console 1.22, 1.23, 1.24 and 1.25, however, a workaround exists. Before delivering your source code, locate the following file on the Node that will be performing the analysis:

%PROGRAMDATA%\CAST\AipConsole\AipNode\code-scanner-config.xml

Edit the file and remove or comment out the following section:

<package packageType="dmtdb400techno.DB400Package"
   extractorType="dmtdb400extractor.DB400Extractor"
   deliveryFile=".lf;.pf;.sqli;.sqlt;.sqlv;.sqlu;.sqlp"
   deliveryData="COE"/>

Save the file and restart the Node.

CAST Imaging Console expects either a ZIP/archive file or source code located in a folder configured in Console. You should include in the ZIP/source code folder all RPG and IBM DB2 for i (if present) source code. CAST highly recommends placing the files in a folder dedicated to RPG. If you are using a ZIP/archive file, zip the folders in the “temp” folder - but do not zip the “temp” folder itself, nor create any intermediary folders:

D:\temp
    |-----RPG
    |-----OtherTechno1
    |-----OtherTechno2

When the source code has been delivered, CAST Imaging Console will create an Analysis Unit for:

  • IBM Db2 for i (if present)
  • RPG

Analysis configuration

Add a dependency between the RPG Analysis Unit as Source and SQL Universal Analysis Unit as the target:

Starting from CAST Imaging Console 1.26, this dependency will be automatically added and no manual intervention is required. You should still check that the dependency is present, however.

Configuring Technical Size measures for RPG in the CAST Health Dashboard

Technical Size measures can be displayed for RPG analysis results in the CAST Health Dashboard by manually editing the following file:

1.x WAR file: %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\<dashboard>\portal\resources\app.json
2.x WAR file: %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\<dashboard>\WEB-INF\classes\config\hd\app.json
2.x ZIP file: com.castsoftware.aip.dashboard.2.0.0\config\hd\app.json

Add the following entries into the existing section “TechnicalSizeMeasures”:

"TechnicalSizeMeasures": {
...
      {
        "id": 1008000,
        "label": "Number of RPG400 Program(RPG400)"
      },
      {
        "id": 1008001,
        "label": "Number of RPG400 Subroutine(RPG400)"
      },
      {
        "id": 1008002,
        "label": "Number of RPG400 Procedure(RPG400)"
      },
      {
        "id": 1008003,
        "label": "Number of RPG IV Copy Member(RPG400)"
      },
      {
        "id": 1009000,
        "label": "Number of RPG300 Program(RPG300)"
      },
      {
        "id": 1009001,
        "label": "Number of RPG300 Subroutine(RPG300)"
      },
      {
        "id": 1009003,
        "label": "Number of RPG300 Copy Member(RPG300)"
      }
} 

Following any changes you make, save the app.json file and then restart your application server so that the changes are taken into account.

Note: The callLink between “CL Call to Sql File” and “SQL Script” is created by the com.castsoftware.wbslinker (≥ 1.7.30).

DCLF command examples

Two modelisations have been made for DCLF instructions based on the type of file. DCLF commands can declare database file or display device file. To distiguish between both types of file, we must look at the presence of other commands:

Command available to file type description
RCVF both read the file within the CL program
SNDF display device file write the file within the CL program
SNDRCVF display device file write and then read the file within the CL program

Also, when multiple declarations of DCLF are present in the same file, then a matching OPNID or RCDFMT must be present between a specific DCLF command and for example a RCVF command.

Disk File (alias for database file)

For the following sample file ‘TAACFGAC.clp’:

    PGM
      DCLF FILE(QADSPOBJ)
      DCL VAR(&MBRNAME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
      DCL VAR(&MBR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
    ENDPGM

The associated results:

When the DDS Physical File is present the CL Missing Disk File is replaced by the DDS Physical File or DDS Logical File object and an additionnal link is made from the CL program to the DDS Physical File or DDS Logical File. Also, If Table or View are found by the com.castsoftware.sqlanalyzer then these objects are prioritized as follows:

Display File
  PGM                                                                        
  DCLF FILE(TAADTQCD)

  DCL VAR(&ENTLEN) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(5 0)
  DCL VAR(&ENTRY) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(80)
  SNDF RCDFMT(FMT1)
  CHGVAR VAR(&RCDINPUT) VALUE('')                                                                                   
  CHGVAR VAR(&WAIT) VALUE(99999)                                                                                     
  CALL PGM(QRCVDTAQ) PARM(&DTAQ &LIB &ENTLEN &ENTRY &WAIT)                                                           
  IF COND('*DSPF' *EQ %SST(&ENTRY 1 5)) THEN(DO)                                                                     
  RCVF RCDFMT(FMT1)   
  ENDPGM

The Read Access Link is added based on the RCVF command when the Write Access Link is add based on the SNDF command. In case of SDNRCVF then both Read Access Link and Write Access Link are added.

Limitations:

  1. If evaluation of the file type failed, the default type is ‘Disk File’.

RPG IV Missing Physical/Logical File

In absence of Table/View with name matching:

In presence of Table/View with name matching:

The RPG IV Missing Physical/Logical File “APAGLQUA” object is created at analyzer level because com.castsoftware.rpg cannot know at that point that a Table or View exists resulting from a com.castsoftware.sqlanalyser analysis. At application level, a matching protocol is used to link “RPG IV File Disk” to the “Table” and delete the RPG IV Missing Physical/Logical File only if a match has been found.

The value of the parameter ODON is evaluated. This parameter holds the name of the queue. Here are three examples of how the name of the queue can be declared.

    D TestQueue       S             10    INZ('TESTQUEUE    ')                              UTT07R

If there is no file in the application where $TESTQUEUE is declared, we create an unknown queue object.
