Abstract: A device for modeling an integrated enterprise includes a first tool for constructing a model of the integrated enterprise and a second tool for analyzing calls, contained in the constructed model, between applications of the integrated enterprise and a database shared thereby. The call analysis tool identifies data attribute imbalances in calls between the applications of the integrated enterprise and the shared database. Data attribute imbalances result if the calls attempt to consume data which was never produced or if the calls produce data which is never consumed. The call analysis tool also generates producer/consumer maps of the data attributes used in the model, producer exception reports which identify data attributes which are consumed but never produced and consumer exception reports which identify data attributes which are produced but never consumed.

Abstract: A selected scenario of a design ICD document for an integrated enterprise is validated by examining each IDL call of each sequence diagram forming part of the selected scenario. A list of data attributes contained in one or more of the IDL calls are generated and each IDL call associated therewith is generated. A physical location to which each such IDL call is mapped is then associated with the IDL call. By analyzing the IDL calls and associated physical locations on a data attribute-by-data attribute basis, inconsistencies in the physical mapping of the data attributes to the databases forming an IIS for the integrated enterprise may be identified and subsequently corrected.
