Overview:
PathPoint is a dynamic mainframe application discovery tool that provides a new execution-based approach for understanding how legacy mainframe applications "really work".
Without any change to source code, PathPoint traces and captures the sequential application processing path followed by specified, user entered, business transactions - as they execute. Information is captured in the actual sequence of execution providing unparalleled insight into execution-based application facts.
