System and Method for Automated Cross-Application Dependency Mapping

摘要

A system and method for automatically generating cross-application dependency maps for enterprise IT environments is described. Automated code parsing techniques are used to identify dependencies between and among different business applications within the IT environment, including for both legacy and modern business applications. A thorough analysis of the enterprise-wide impact of a programming change, such as, for example, a change to the code of a legacy business application, can be conducted. There is the ability to perform canonical and customized searches of dependent elements between components of the IT environment and generate impact reports that can show how desired changes to particular applications may affect the environment. The impact of changes in a code repository, which can include documents in different programming languages that reside in a separate code environment, can be identified and analyzed.

1. A system for automating cross-application dependency mapping of an information technology (IT) environment, the system comprising:
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 specified by a user;parse the source file by looping through each line in the source file in order to obtain parsed information;analyze a call hierarchy of each service operation based at least in part on the parsed information from the source file; andgenerate a call hierarchy report based on the analyzed call hierarchy.
