List the Db2 unloads and what each would cost to move

Recipe IDio.moderne.mainframe.db2.AnalyzeHpuUsage
Artifactio.moderne.recipe:recipes-mainframe

Record every Db2 unload the portfolio runs: the dialect its control cards are written in, what in the deck proved that rather than the program name on the EXEC card, the table space and tables it reads, the DDs it writes, how it reads them and at what consistency, and what moving it off the High Performance Unload product would take — ALREADY_THE_TARGET, MAPS_KEYWORD_FOR_KEYWORD by IBM's own option table, NEEDS_REDESIGN where the base utility has no answer, or NOT_DECIDABLE where the source does not say enough to judge. Each unload also makes the one edge no other analysis makes, a Db2 table reached from a control card rather than from EXEC SQL, anchored at the EXEC card and at the CREATE TABLE. FindHpuUsage answers the same question and marks the EXEC cards in the source; this one produces the tables and changes nothing.

Db2 unloads
io.moderne.mainframe.analysis.table.Db2Unloads

Every unload a job runs, the dialect its control cards are written in, what it unloads and where it writes it, and what it would take to run the same unload on the base Db2 utility.

--data-table io.moderne.mainframe.analysis.table.Db2Unloads
ColumnDescription
JobThe job name, empty for a member with no JOB card.
MemberThe JCL member the job was read from.
Source pathThe file the job was read from, which is the file to open at the line below.
LineThe one-based line of the EXEC card written in that member. A step a procedure supplies has no line in the job, so it is the calling card that is given — the card a transformation would be applied to.
StepThe step name, qualified by the step that called its procedure — UNLHST.UNL.
ProgramThe program the step names on PGM=, with its symbols filled in. It does not say which engine runs: the unload product reads three vendors' dialects through one program name of its own, and a shop may alias the base utility's program to the product's compatibility entry point.
DialectThe language the control cards are written in: HIGH_PERFORMANCE_UNLOAD for the unload product's own, BASE_UTILITY for the one the Db2 utilities read. This, and not the program name, is what says which engine runs.
Proven byWhat in the deck settled the dialect — the SELECT and OUTDDN of the product, the FROM TABLE or SHRLEVEL of the base utility — and, where the program name says otherwise, that it does.
DeckThe control card member the cards are written in, or the JCL member for a deck written in the job stream.
Deck pathThe file that member was read from, empty where the member was named but not supplied.
Deck lineThe one-based line of that file the UNLOAD statement is written on.
CardsWhere the cards are written: IN_STREAM in this member's own job stream, PROCEDURE in the stream of the procedure the step calls, MEMBER in the library member the DD names.
Table spaceThe table space unloaded, empty where the deck leaves it to be worked out from the tables the SELECTs name — which an image copy unload does.
TablesThe tables the rows come from, separated by , : one per SELECT in the product's dialect, one per FROM TABLE in the base utility's.
SelectsHow many SELECT or FROM TABLE blocks the unload writes. More than one is one pass over the table space fanned out to several files, and the base utility needs a statement and a pass each.
Output DDsEvery DD the rows are written to. The product has no default and every deck names its own; the base utility defaults to SYSREC, so these names are written twice — once here and once in the JCL — and a change to either has to be a change to both.
Load card DDsEvery DD the generated LOAD cards are written to. The base utility defaults this one to SYSPUNCH. A name here may be a TEMPLATE of the deck rather than a DD of the job.
Copy DDThe DD an image copy is read from instead of the table space, empty where the unload reads the table space. LAST_IC or a negative number is a catalog search the base utility does not do.
FormatsThe layout each SELECT writes. A SELECT that codes none is not listed, because what it writes is then a site setting rather than something the deck says.
AccessHow the rows are read: NO off the data sets outside Db2, FORCE through a dynamic cursor, YES for either as the SQL allows. The bytes written are not the same across the three. Empty where the deck leaves it to the site parmlib.
ConsistencyWhat the deck says about reading a table space somebody else may be writing — LOCK YES QUIESCE YES in the product's dialect, SHRLEVEL REFERENCE in the base utility's. The two are not one for one: only LOCK YES QUIESCE YES, and LOCK YES under DB2 FORCE, are documented as ensuring consistency.
VerdictHow far the step reads, from FindExecutionPaths: RESOLVED, INHERITED where a keyword comes from the site parmlib, UNRESOLVED where a name was not followed at all.
MigrationWhat it would take to run this unload on the base utility: ALREADY_THE_TARGET for a deck already written in its language, MAPS_KEYWORD_FOR_KEYWORD where IBM's own option table covers every keyword, NEEDS_REDESIGN where it does not, NOT_DECIDABLE where the source does not say enough to judge.
EvidenceWhy that verdict, separated by ; — the keywords the mapping covers, the constructs it does not, or the reasons the path could not be read. A verdict nobody can check is a verdict nobody will act on.
Findings
io.moderne.mainframe.analysis.table.Findings

Everything the mainframe analyses found wrong, ranked, with the evidence for each and the line it is on. Sort on priority.

Export after a run
mod study . --last-recipe-run \
--data-table io.moderne.mainframe.analysis.table.Findings
ColumnDescription
Priority1 for CRITICAL down to 4 for LOW, so the table sorts.
SeverityCRITICAL for code that cannot do what it was written to do, HIGH for what will break a migration if not decided deliberately, MEDIUM for what is worth knowing first, LOW for cleanup.
CategoryWhat kind of problem it is, which is what groups the report into sections: DEAD_RULE, UNREACHABLE_CODE, COPYBOOK_DRIFT, MIGRATION_BLOCKER, RANGE_PATHOLOGY, DEAD_DATA, COMPLEXITY, LAYOUT_DRIFT, IMS_PCB_MISMATCH, IMS_SEGMENT_NOT_SENSITIVE, IMS_IO_AREA_MISMATCH, MFS_MESSAGE_LENGTH, SCREEN_ITEM_UNREACHED, SCREEN_FIELD_UNREACHED, PARSE_FAILURE, UNDOCUMENTED, STALE_DOCUMENTATION, STALE_REFERENCE, UNENFORCED_BUILD_ORDER, UNSCHEDULED_JOB, AUTOCALL_RESOLVED_REFERENCE, UNRESOLVED_EXECUTION_PATH, INHERITED_SETTING, UNLOAD_NEEDS_REDESIGN, UNLOAD_ACCESS_MODE, UNLOAD_CONSISTENCY, UNLOAD_OUTPUT_WIRING, MIXED_SUBSTITUTION.
ProgramThe COBOL program, or the copybook where the finding is about one.
SummaryThe finding in one sentence, written to be read on its own.
EvidenceWhy this is claimed — the conditions that conflict, the two declarations that differ, the caller that made the paragraph unreachable. A finding nobody can check is a finding nobody will act on.
WhereThe paragraph, section or data item the finding is in.
Source pathThe file, so the finding can be opened.
