Find what the run books document

Recipe IDio.moderne.mainframe.documentation.FindRunBooks
Artifactio.moderne.recipe:recipes-mainframe

Report what a documentation library says about the estate around it: one relationship row per name a run book member writes that the portfolio answers to, typed by what the name turned out to be, and one coverage row per program and job saying which member documents it. A run book is prose written in upper case, so a name-shaped token in it is any word of eight characters or fewer and no rule tells MASTER in a sentence from MASTER in a library: what makes a name a reference is looking it up among the members, data sets, tables, databases and load modules the portfolio holds, which is a join rather than something one member says. The row for what a member is about carries its shape — DOCJOB, DOCPGM, DOCFICH, DOCAPPL or DOCOPER — as the action metadata, so the component it documents can be told from a name it merely mentions. Both directions are findings as well: a program with no run book, which is worth knowing before touching the program, and a run book whose subject nothing answers to, which is a member a rename left behind. Every line writing a name that resolved is marked, which is what a reader is looking for in a page of prose.

Usage​

Run this recipe

This recipe has no required configuration options. Users of Moderne can run it via the Moderne CLI.

You will need to have configured the Moderne CLI on your machine before you can run the following command.

shell
mod run . --recipe FindRunBooks

If the recipe is not available locally, then you can install it using:

RELEASE resolves to the newest release and LATEST to the newest build of any kind, including snapshots. Either one lets mod config recipes upgrade pull in later versions without editing this command; a pinned version stays where you put it.

mod config recipes jar install io.moderne.recipe:recipes-mainframe:RELEASE

Data tables​

COBOL relationships
org.openrewrite.mainframe.cobol.table.CobolRelationships

Relationships between different COBOL resources.

Export after a run
mod study . --last-recipe-run \
--data-table org.openrewrite.mainframe.cobol.table.CobolRelationships
ColumnDescription
DependentThe resource that defines the relationship.
Dependent typeThe resource type of the resource that defines the relationship.
ActionThe action that links the dependent and dependency.
DependencyThe resource that is exercised or linked to.
Dependency typeThe resource type of the resource that is exercised or linked to.
Dependency missingIndicates whether the dependency is a known resource.
Action metadataAdditional data about the action.
Dependent pathThe source file the dependent's statement was written in, or null when the dependent is a name that has no source here.
Dependent lineThe one-based line the dependent's statement was written on, or null when it has no source here.
Dependency pathThe source file the dependency was written in, or null when the dependency is a name that has no source here, such as a vendor copybook.
Dependency lineThe one-based line the dependency's statement was written on, or null when the dependency is a whole file rather than a statement within one.
Run book coverage
io.moderne.mainframe.analysis.table.RunBookCoverage

Every program and job of the portfolio with the run book member that documents it, and every run book with the component it is about.

Export after a run
mod study . --last-recipe-run \
--data-table io.moderne.mainframe.analysis.table.RunBookCoverage
ColumnDescription
ComponentThe program, job or data set: the PROGRAM-ID, the JCL member name, or the data set name a DOCFICH carries on its FILE line.
Component typeWhat the component is, in the relationship model's vocabulary: COBOL, ASSEMBLER, SAS, JCL or DATA_SET.
Source pathThe file the component is in, or empty where nothing in the portfolio answers to the name.
Run bookThe documentation member, or empty where none documents the component.
ShapeWhich kind of run book it is, from its own first word: DOCJOB, DOCPGM, DOCFICH, DOCAPPL or DOCOPER.
Run book pathThe file the run book is in.
VerdictDOCUMENTED, UNDOCUMENTED for a component no run book is about, or SUBJECT_MISSING for a run book whose subject nothing answers to.
Names resolvedHow many of the names the run book writes down are components of the portfolio. A run book is prose, so what it mentions over-answers until it is looked up; this is what survived the lookup.
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.
Source files that had results

Source path after the runA recipe may modify the source path. This is the path after the run. null when a source file was deleted during the run.
Parent of the recipe that made changesIn a hierarchical recipe, the parent of the recipe that made a change. Empty if this is the root of a hierarchy or if the recipe is not hierarchical at all.
Recipe that made changesThe specific recipe that made a change.
Estimated time savingAn estimated effort that a developer to fix manually instead of using this recipe, in unit of seconds.
CycleThe recipe cycle in which the change was made.
