Overview

This chapter describes how to load the WebSphere Studio Asset Analyzer database with your site’s inventory. We discuss the kind of information you need to collect before you start, how to define an application, and the significance of analysis concatenation sets.

We then show how to load the online and batch components. We explain all of the steps you need to follow to ensure that your production source code and online resources are processed correctly. We include a brief discussion of how to detect and resolve errors.

We provide you with the information about on-going database loads and include a brief discussion of several database maintenance tasks.

We conclude this chapter with some practical information about the product that we discovered during our residency and which we hope you will find useful.
