Access Gen

Access Gen is the culmination of fourteen year's experience delivering productivity solutions to CA Gen projects. It offers a single, integrated graphical interface that delivers all of the information needs and process support that Gen analysis and development projects need to operate at maximum efficiency. Integrating seamlessly into a project regardless of encyclopedia type, development methodology or the system being developed, the performance gains are delivered by addressing a number of issues that arise with CA Gen development without imposing rigid processes around the software's use.

Key product features:

Simple intuitive browser style GUI

Fast object searching and expansion to see how objects are related to each other by a simple double click

Impact analysis support to identify the impact of changing objects

Interactive browse facilities and usage reports that allow users to drill down through multiple levels of objects to aid analysis and fault diagnosis

Version control and comparison features to show where objects exist and display the differences between different versions

View size details and a full packaging report to show what's in load modules and highlight potential view size issues when generating

Multi-object reporting offers several features such as version reports, redundant object reports, timestamp comparisons, cross model impact analysis, properties reports and checkout queries for multiple objects

Subset and download support - the analysis features of the software offer a powerful way to identify all objects required for a unit of work. Subsets can then be created or modified quickly and simply. Checkout status reports are built in to help prevent downgrades. Subsets can also be submitted for download

Aggregate set and migration support - create or modify existing aggregate sets in seconds. Initiate migrates from Access Gen with its own pre-migrate check routine to prevent download failures replacing the time and resource hungry Gen trial migrate process

Integrated WALKENCY mode to open up the encyclopedia at the object level

Create popup reports retaining their interactive properties so that successive reports can be created without over-writing previous ones

Custom Queries feature allowing the product to be expanded infinitely

Our product philosophy is to deliver a single, consolidated interface to the Host or Client Server Encyclopedia, that serves all of the information needs of CA Gen analysis development teams - a one stop shop analysis and development tool kit. A simple installation process, delivering the right information as fast as possible and ease of use are the core areas of focus for their software.

It will reduce project bottlenecks, support and enhance existing and new key processes and provide support for less frequent tasks that were previously time consuming to do. Each feature has been specifically developed to serve the needs of Gen development projects.
