Critical Path Software and Logic OnLine Lower MVS 390 and z/OS costs

Logic OnLine Inc and Critical Path Software Inc bring more savings to Mainframe Clients. They have joined forces to promote each other’s Cost Reduction Software Products and Services to each other’s Clients.
 
April 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Logic OnLine’s, RIPPLE-TRAC product can extend the life of tried and true enterprise systems running on the IBM Mainframe.  RIPPLE-TRAC has the capability to support the strategic mission of reusing business software and giving it modern value and ease of use. With an innovative process that can be used to enable modernization, integration, or to simplify and facilitate maintenance, RIPPLE-TRAC has a direct impact on business efficiency and profitability.
RIPPLE-TRAC is a tool for software maintenance and software modernization that scan 'development assets', and provide maintenance engineers with 'knowledge' about these assets. We refer to RIPPLE-TRAC as a software analytic tool.

RIPPLE-TRAC includes ONE parser that processes multiple programming languages unlike the typical software analytics tool that includes a parser for selected programming languages. The proprietary parser supported by RIPPLE-TRAC determines the software assets that can be processed by RIPPLE-TRAC. In the software maintenance context, a 'software analytics' tool (RIPPLE-TRAC) mines software assets for 'knowledge' for the purposes of understanding, and evolution.
RIPPLE-TRAC support many codes/ languages from COBOL to JAVA and can map z/os system components.  To mention a few areas of interest, there are processes for:

RIPPLE-TRAC for CICS
RIPPLE-TRAC for IMS
RIPPLE-TRAC for VSAM
RIPPLE-TRAC for DB2
RIPPLE-TRAC for BMS
RIPPLE-TRAC for SYS1.PARMLIB
RIPPLE-TRAC for JCL

Daniel B. Boucher SR Founder

Dan Boucher founded Logic Online Inc. in 1992 bringing decades of experience as an IT architect/consultant to Fortune 500 firms.  His expertise is in leveraging their software assets as a practitioner of Solution Architecture, Systems Engineering and Software Engineering Processes.  Dan’s knowledge spans the diverse technologies and new technical architecture principles and concepts within z/OS 64-bit operating system for Mainframe Computers, created by IBM and all its predecessors.

He re-engineered and integrated legacy systems for large corporations such as IBM research, New England Financial, Mellon Bank, Fidelity Investments, Mercedes Benz, Chase Manhattan Bank, Massachusetts General Hospital, Unum, Allmerica Financial, Liberty Mutual, Dreyfus Mutual Funds and Epsilon (an American Express Company).  At the New York state Department of Motor Vehicles, he was the designer of the electronic ticketing system. He initiated disaster recovery planning for Iron Mountain which included identifying specific risks associated with unplanned interruption of business applications, and developed recovery strategies to mitigate those risks.

In 1994 Dan began to design a tool (RIPPLE-TRAC) to alleviate the errors created by performing impact analysis manually. The design objective was to track the ripple effect of a potential change through source code regardless of the language of a software system and discover the consequential effects on other parts of the system resulting from that change. These effects can be classified into a number of categories such as logical effects, performance effects or understanding effects.
