KnowledgeWare Inc’s Application Development Workbench/MVS costs $175,000 and is a suite of host-based analysis and reporting tools, and tools for consolidating and controlling information in a DB2-based encyclopaedia. It complements KnowledgeWare’s workstation-based computer aided software engineering products. The ADW/Repository Enablement Facility enables customers to transfer information between KnowledgeWare’s software engineering tools and the IBM Repository in the Information Model format. Future releases of ADW/MVS will be based on the IBM Repository. The host tool function of ADW/MVS will remain and will be enhanced. The host encyclopaedia function of ADW/MVS will be replaced with the IBM Repository. The functions of the Information Engineering Workbench/Mainframe are a subset of those of ADW/MVS and help manage infor-mation in a Virtual Storage Access Method encyclopaedia.
