Identifying parts of a program to refactor into services

After you explore the closure graph of a specific artifact and the relevant programs, you can further identify parts of a program that you can refactor into services.

Click the Action Menu (The image shows the Action Menu icon.) icon on the upper right corner of the program node that you want to identify the parts. You will see the following options available:
  • View properties option to view more details of the artifact
  • Identify conditional statements option to see the conditional statement of the program as the drivers of business functionality
  • Identify paragraphs option to identify the paragraphs of the program that can be service candidates
  • Identify table/file access statements option to identify the table or file access statements of the program
    Note: This option is only available on programs with outgoing data access edges. For more information, see Tutorial for the VS Code extension: Getting a backward data flow slice.
  • Identify variables2.2+ option to identify the variables of the program
    Note: This feature is available only for the Z Refactoring Assistant Visual Studio Code extension.
