Microsoft today released the new version of their Application Analyzer tool for Lotus Domino applications. It features a new UI, better reporting, and a customizable XML-based system for customizing the analysis it does and the ensuing recommendations. This version of the tool uses the four-phase process that MS has defined and refined since the last App Analyzer release. There’s also an accompanying best practices guide. I’m looking forward to seeing customer feedback on these tools; the previous versions of the app analyzer had some shortcomings that I hope the new version fully addresses. In particular, I’m interested in seeing Paul Mooney‘s take on it.

I put my findings up on my site last night. Quite flattered you paid attention to my other reports. Thank you
“customizable XML-based system for customizing the analysis it does and the ensuing recommendations”
I’m sure nobody would think to “customize” that XML in a way that makes it seem easier to migrate than it actually is, right? What you end up with is a system where two different consultants, both trying to earn that per-user bounty from MS, can come in and run the analyzer, potentially with different results. Hmm.
