re•Source Features

From the start, re•Source has been designed as a flexible, extensible framework for advanced code mining and engineering. In addition to fully supporting all code mining&engineering advantages, re•Source makes efficient code engineering available to a wide audience by way of the following features:

• Modular plug-in based design, centered around a universal storage system. re•Source comes with your choice of functional modules. Adding a new programming language, subsystem or report format is simply a matter of plugging-in another module.

• Accepts input from diverse sources, including mainframes, mini's, open systems and personal computers. Include subsystem files, job control scripts, data definitions, screen layouts etc.

• Connect to other applications, using re•Source's native I/O channels or the universal XML-format interface. re•Source allows you to embed data into Word, Excel, Project and Powerpoint straightaway.

• Intelligent knowledge base, designed specifically to store program details and all relations between them. High retrieval speed and efficient access add to the code mining experience. The knowledge base can be annotated at every level.

• Easy knowledge access, through the use of browser technology, configurable report formats, graphical representations and the use of a standard GUI. Import your query results directly into your Word reports

• Complete programmability offers unlimited power to users that decide to do it differently. Check out the different programming interfaces.

• Extensive support services include project assistance, customizations, module design, integration into maintenance systems and others.
