The EA Web home page consists of a banner and two main tabs, Inventory and Business Rules. On the Inventory tab the page is split into a number of panes, Repository, Code Search, Code Search Queries, Code Search Reports, and Inventory pane:
The banner bar enables you to specify the workspace and project that you want to use. You can change the default workspace by selecting from the Workspace list. You can then select an appropriate project for that workspace from the Project list. Click About to see the EA Web version number.
The choices you have depends on the workspace you have configured in Enterprise Analyzer Administration. In Enterprise Analyzer Administration, click and modify as required.
The Repository pane displays the contents of the repository for the current workspace. It has two views, Folder and Type which you can toggle between using the radio buttons:
The Folder and Type views both consists of the following elements:

programs, files, database tables, copybooks,
screens, JCLs
and so forth.
Double-click an object and the source code is displayed in the pane on the right as a new tab alongside Inventory pane.
Right-click an object, and a context menu with the following menu items is displayed:
From the Code Search pane you can execute queries. By default, the queries are the same as in Enterprise Analyzer but you can create your own queries in the tool and add them to the Code Search tab.
In this pane you have two different views Code Search Queries and Code Search Reports. From Code Search Queries you can execute queries defined in Code Search in EA and from Code Search Reports you can execute pre-defined reports such as Quality Assessment, Performance Optimization, Portability Assessment, and various migration reports.
The Code Search Queries pane lets you filter by selected files or project and the language of the sources.
Click Refresh to update the list depending on your choices.
All query results appear in a new tab on the Inventory pane.
When you start EA Web, this pane displays three different types of charts:
When you execute a query, the results from it appear in a new tab in the Inventory pane. You can double-click an element to see its source code which will be displayed in a new view in this pane.
You can also right-click a variable and create an Impact trace for the variable. The impact trace displays how the data flows to and from other variables, files, screens, and so forth.
The left-hand portion of the Business Rules pane displays the business functions in your workspace in tree form:
The right-hand pane displays the attributes and other characteristics of the business function, rule set, or rule selected in the left-hand pane.
