eXplain
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.

Rocket Data Intelligence
Rocket® Data Intelligence (RDI) delivers comprehensive visibility into enterprise data across mainframe, distributed, and cloud environments. It automatically discovers metadata, lineage, and data relationships so organizations can see where critical data resides, how it moves, and which applications and processes rely on it. RDI supports legacy and modern platforms, including Db2, VSAM, IMS, Adabas, Datacom, relational databases, ETL tools like Informatica and DataStage, code such as COBOL, Python, and Java, and cloud data stores.
RDI provides enterprise-grade capabilities including automated data discovery and code parsing, impact analysis, lineage filtering, role/LOB-based categorization and governance, workflow management, business glossary, and dependency mapping. By unifying data asset visibility across hybrid environments, RDI reduces operational risk and accelerates data modernization, compliance reporting, discovery, and rationalization initiatives.
