• The Code Analyzer is a must-have tool when working with source code. It runs extremely complex queries on source code repositories at incredible speeds, when used locally or on a Sparx Intel cloud service.
• The Code analyzer uses a high-level query language developed by Sparx systems. It also has a large vocabulary that allows code metrics to be queried quicker than traditional methods.
• It is highly effective for large-scale code bases. This is because it allows the user to rigorously check any minor changes using a distinct cross-reference analysis of the code to verify that all effects are clearly visible.

Code Miner Framework

• In Sparx Enterprise Architect 16, users can compile their code base into a Code Miner repository. Code Miner system provides instant and comprehensive access to existing source code information.
• It enables complete access to all features of the original source code in a machine-readable manner. This is done by parsing all source code and storing the resulting “Abstract Syntax Tree” in a read-optimized database.
• The main purpose of the Code miner is to give quick and effective access to data concealed within the source code.
• The interfaces have been designed to be as simple as possible while ensuring optimal performance.
• As a result, the system can assess the program’s structure, calculate metrics, track relationships, and even refactor the code.

What’s New in Sparx Enterprise Architect 16?

Sparx Intel Service

• The Sparx Intel service program enables development projects and customers to learn more about the code bases and software frameworks they’re working with.
• Multiple Enterprise Architect customers can use the service to access and (raise a query for the same data) query the same data from a variety of software domains and frameworks.
• Clients of Enterprise Architect can use the service to have access to Intelli-sense in code editing and smart search results in search tools.
• The Sparx Intel service is a division of Sparx Satellite Services. The service can be installed on a local network or in the cloud, plus it runs on Microsoft Windows.
• The Sparx Intel Satellite service can be executed as a standalone process or as a Windows service.

Config File Format

Directive	Description
Name	When a service is named on the command line, the service with the matching name attribute will commence.
Status	The service will be starting only when status = ON
Lazyload	When lazyload is ‘true’, any Code Miner database will delay loaded until an Intel request is made to the service.
Loglevel	Defines the level of information logged, as a combination of keywords { information, warning, error} separated by a ‘|’.  For example:      loglevel= Information|warning|error
Logoutput	Specifies the full pathname of the log file to write to. For example:      logoutput=c:\logfiles\intel-service-project1.log
Database	Specifies the full path name of the Code Miner database to be loaded. For example:      database=c:\intel–service\project1.cdb Multiple ‘database’ directives are allowed, each specifying a different database.
Allow	Identifies the IP address that is permitted to connect to the service on the Port. For example:      allow=localhost      allow=127.0.0.1      allow=172.160.*  (wildcards are allowed when the ‘network’                                   the directive has a value of ‘network’ or ‘public’,                                   but not ‘local’)
Network	Allows service connections to be restricted. local – the service can’t be heard on any connection other than localhost network – when used with the wildcard ‘allow’ directives, it allows clients on an allowed IP address wild card to connect pubic – allows any connection
Show	When ‘true’, the Console window for the service will be shown; the default is ‘false’.
Port	The Port on which the service will be heard.
