<< Back Systems Governance Suite - ARPA

Analysis of the IT asset consistency

ARPA provides its own set of corrective tools that, coupled with standard system utilities, are able to identify anomalies, such as the presence of obsolete objects, the same objects in different environments, structural discrepancies or the lack of those objects that are necessary for a successful execution.

ARPA incorporates a set of corrective tools that when coupled with standard system utilities, are able to remove the identified anomalies.


	It is a known fact that over the years the number of inconsistencies between the variety of objects within a typical mainframe I.T. software environment has increased exponentially. The typical reasons for this increase have been identified as: I.T. processes that are increasingly becoming more complex, years of on-going maintenance build up within the objects, acquisition of new applications and major modifications to applications in order to comply with new business requirements. Frequently these changes are the cause of: Obsolescence (from single objects like a datastore or a program, up to entire applications) Structural inconsistency, such as links to objects that no longer exist (e.g. called modules) Displacement between environments Inevitably, these inconsistencies will: Add complexity to applications Waste of resources Drastically increase maintenance efforts Increase the risk of errors during execution and during maintenance activities and, finally, a resulting increase in the cost of management of the application components within the environment.

	The following are the three major steps that can be performed with ARPA: Knowledge (list of the characteristics of objects, their composition and, the relationships between them) Localization (highlight of inconsistencies based on the information collected) Removal (optional removal of obsolete or unused objects, (inconsistency removal). ARPA is comprised of two main components: ARPA-WEB-Server component, that allows the user to run the products through a Web Browser ARPA-TCP-Server the mainframe component that includes all the basic services and provides access to the RES Suite SG Repositor
