Actually, expanding on that. Open up the ARSystem database so you can run some SQL queries. Do a count on entries in the action tables for your workflow tables (actlink_push, filter_push, filter_set, etc). Then count the entries in the object tables (arschema, actink, filter, escalation, arcontainer, char_menu). You can then tell them the following:
System has X form objects which call a total of X workflow objects. X workflow objects perform a total of X actions. It won't tell you "how many lines of code" the system has, but it will help portray the level of complexity that the system is performing. You can break down the above a little more thoroughly to prove a more comprehensive solution based on what your boss is looking for.

Maybe they are going to pay you based upon the number of lines of code, as a measure of complexity. Count the active links and multiply by the number of parameters in each. Same with filters, add them to the mix. Then multiply by the number of tickets. Add something for guides or other programming constructs you have implemented. That would be a better indication of the complexity, which is what the metric is attempting to discover. YMMV Yours truly, Charles H.

Don't forget to use 71 character lines (if I remember correctly and probably don't, column 72 was for an X to say this line is extended for at least Fortran and the rest were for sequencing your card deck in case they fell off where you put them and spread themselves over the floor). Anybody who knows the correct answer has *really* dated themselves. For the rest of you, I am going back 32 years, the first and last year I used a card punch. So David, bundle up all the responses from the arslist, bind them, Pick a number(as recommended by your peers, either random number or An inaccurate calculated one), attach a printout of the .def file and All supporting code from mid-tier, integrations etc. and hand it in :-) ...

Geez . . . no one has used the "lines of source code" (SLOC) measurement since the 1980's! It was a poor metric then with monolithic languages (Cobol, Fortran, etc.), and it's an even poorer metric today using object-oriented software and N-tier architectures. But you may still need to provide a valid number. Can anyone from Remedy provide a ballpark SLOC metric by application? <history snip> ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" ====================================================================== Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in and transmitted with this communication is strictly confidential, is intended only for the use of the intended recipient, and is the property of Countrywide Financial Corporation or its affiliates and subsidiaries.
