Custom Development Check Version 3.00

January 2013

WHY THIS TOOL? It has been proven that during an archiving project, the customer often forgets to evaluate the impact that archiving will have on their custom code, i.e.: reports, queries, extracts and more. When they do… nothing breaks, they just provide wrong results!

Do you want to keep providing accurate results to your CFO?

WHAT DOES IT DO? Analyze all of your custom programs Z* and Y* source code and research select statements that try to get data from tables for which an archive object delete entries.

NEW in v3.00
