Abstract

Claims (61)

1. A system for automating cross-application dependency mapping of an information technology (IT) environment, the system comprising:

at least on computing device; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions, the executable instructions when executed by at least one computing device causes the at least one computing device to:

receive a source file associated with at least one configuration file of the legacy IT environment, wherein the source files include source code corresponding to the plurality of different software applications having different programming languages;

parse the source code in order to obtain parsed information, wherein parsing the source code includes:

placing file paths of the source files into a parsing queue,

starting a plurality of configured threads,

selecting, by each configured thread, a respective source file corresponding to a file path stored in the parsing queue, and

looping, for each configured thread, through each respective line in the selected source file associated with the respective configuration thread, in order to obtain the parsed information, wherein the parsed information characterizes the source code execution dependencies for function, transaction and service calls of service operations of each of the software applications across application boundaries;

analyze the parsed information to identify the execution dependencies of each of the service operations between the software applications and generate a call hierarchy therefrom.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the at least one computing device to identify the source file contained in the IT environment in response to the at least one configuration file specified by the user.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one configuration file is specified by the user via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the at least one computing device to perform additional processing on the parsed source file.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the additional processing includes:

building one or more first statements; and

determining whether the one or more first statements is: (i) a declaration, (ii) a block statement, (iii) a function definition, (iv) a business rule, (v) a function call, or (vi) a variable declaration.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more first statements, when determined to be a block statement, is further processed by:

looping through a rule block;

building one or more second statements; and

determining whether the one or more second statements is: (i) a block statement, (ii) a function definition, (iii) a business rule, (iv) a function call, or (v) a variable declaration.

7. The system of claim 4 , wherein the additional processing includes:

processing all parsed function definitions;

looping through each parsed function definition;

building one or more third statements; and

determining whether the one or more third statements is: (i) a block statement, (ii) a business rule, (iii) a function call, or (iv) a variable declaration.

8. The system of claim 4 , wherein the additional processing includes:

processing all parsed rules;

looping through a rule block for each parsed rule;

building one or more fourth statements and

determining whether the one or more fourth statements is: (i) a block statement, (ii) a business rule, (iii) a function call, or (iv) a variable declaration.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parsed information is stored in one or more databases.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the database is managed by a database managing application, the database managing application configured to receive the parsed information and further configured to provide the parsed information for the analysis to identify the execution dependencies.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the at least one computing device to:

generate a call hierarchy report from the call hierarchy; and

store the call hierarchy report in the one or more databases.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the source file associated with the at least one configuration file is identified by a loading application.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the at least one computing device to:

analyze the call hierarchy via a dependency mapping application.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the analysis of the call hierarchy is based at least in part on one or more of: (i) a search pattern, (ii) a call hierarchy builder; (iii) one or more generic extractors, and (iv) one or more application specific extractors.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the one or more generic extractors and the one or more application specific extractors are provided by an extracting application.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the source file is parsed by a parsing application.

17. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one server computing device; and

at least one storage device,

wherein one or more of: the at least one computing device, the at least one server computing device, and the at least one storage device, is in direct communication with the IT environment or in communication with the IT environment via one or more networks.

18. A computer-implemented method for automating cross-application dependency mapping of an information technology (IT) environment, the method comprising:

receiving a source file associated with at least one configuration file of the legacy IT environment, wherein the source files include source code corresponding to the plurality of different software applications having different programming languages;

parsing the source code in order to obtain parsed information, wherein parsing the source code includes:

placing file paths of the source files into a parsing queue,

starting a plurality of configured threads,

selecting, by each configured thread, a respective source file corresponding to a file path stored in the parsing queue, and

looping, for each configured thread, through each respective line in the selected source file associated with the respective configuration thread, in order to the obtain parsed information, wherein the parsed information characterizes the source code execution dependencies for function, transaction and service calls of service operations of each of the software applications across application boundaries;

analyzing the parsed information to identify the execution dependencies of each of the service operations between the software applications and generate a call hierarchy therefrom.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions, the executable instructions when executed by at least one computing device causes the at least one computing device to perform a method for automating cross-application dependency mapping of an information technology (IT) environment, the method comprising:

receiving a source file associated with at least one configuration file of the legacy IT environment, wherein the source files include source code corresponding to the plurality of different software applications having different programming languages;

parsing the source code in order to obtain parsed information, wherein parsing the source code includes:

placing file paths of the source files into a parsing queue,

starting a plurality of configured threads,

selecting, by each configured thread, a respective source file corresponding to a file path stored in the parsing queue, and

looping, for each configured thread, through each respective line in the selected source file associated with the respective configuration thread, in order to obtain the parsed information, wherein the parsed information characterizes the source code execution dependencies for function, transaction and service calls of service operations of each of the software applications across application boundaries;
