Rational Asset Analyzer for System z

System Requirements

Rational Asset Analyzer for System z provides in-depth insight into dependencies within and among mainframe and composite applications. Helps reduce the time needed to understand the impacts and risks of changes to complex applications.

With Version 6, WebSphere Studio Asset Analyzer (WSAA) has been renamed Rational Asset Analyzer for System z.
