About

Rocket® Relativity® is a data access and modernization solution that brings relational database capabilities to existing COBOL applications without requiring changes to the original code or data structures. It enables organizations to access COBOL data in real time by presenting traditional COBOL files as relational data sources, allowing developers and business users to query and analyze information using standard SQL through ODBC or JDBC connectivity. This approach ensures that users work with the exact same live data as the COBOL application, rather than relying on replicated or outdated copies, preserving accuracy and consistency across systems. It supports integration with modern analytics and reporting tools such as Microsoft Excel, as well as business intelligence, data warehousing, and ETL processes, expanding the usability of legacy data across contemporary environments.

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.
