The results of the inventory parsing process are stored in an SQL compliant database known internally as Rebase. Customized results could be extracted from Rebase and stored in an Excel spreadsheet for customer review and for easy distribution.

Rebase represents a global view of the application programs and contains information that indicates what resources of the system each component of that application uses. For example, a list of all programs that refer to or update a particular table column can easily be produced.

Since the Rebase system is based on the actual production code, it reflects what the system is really doing. This is in contrast to relying on design documents that, even if they exist, are rarely maintained.

More detailed information on Rebase functionality as well as various snapshots could be found at the JULES Toolset section of our COBOL migration products.

A special add-on program, the Application Viewer, is designed to work as a client of the Rebase server to produce various reports and analyses.
The Application Viewer is a GUI interface that is used in conjunction with Rebase. This advanced tool assists in viewing, analyzing and generating reports on the various components of the database like Programs, SQLs, Columns, Tables, etc.

More detailed information on Applicaiton Viewer functionality as well as various snapshots could be found at the JULES Toolset section of our COBOL migration products.
