About

Rocket COBOL is a comprehensive suite of COBOL modernization and development solutions that empowers organizations to modernize mission-critical COBOL applications for distributed, virtual, containerized, and multicloud environments while preserving proven business logic and reducing technical debt. It supports replatforming and modernization with minimal code changes by enabling developers to build, extend, and deploy COBOL applications using industry-standard integrated development environments such as Visual Studio, Eclipse, and Visual Studio Code, and by integrating GenAI-assisted development tools and DevOps workflows to accelerate productivity and onboarding. Rocket COBOL solutions simplify modernization with features like automated testing and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), deep static code analysis with GenAI insights for code dependencies and change impact.

About

eXplain is a specialized code-analysis and legacy-system evaluation tool from PKS Software GmbH, designed to deeply analyze, map, document, and assess legacy applications, especially on mainframe platforms such as IBM i (AS/400) and IBM Z, so organizations can understand what lives in their software, how it’s structured, and what parts are worth keeping, refactoring or retiring. It imports existing source code into an independent “eXplain server”, no need to install anything on the host system, then uses advanced parsers to examine languages like COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, Natural, RPG, JCL, and others, along with data about databases (Db2, Adabas, IMS), job-schedulers, transaction monitors, and more. eXplain builds a central repository that becomes a knowledge hub; from there, it generates cross-language dependency graphs, data-flow maps, interface analyses, clusterings of related modules, and detailed object-and-resource usage reports.
