Each of the two tabs consists of the following elements:
To expand a node in the Repository pane tree, click . By drilling down the nodes you can easily find programs called by or called to, copybooks used, data accessed, screens used, etc.. These elements are different depending on the element chosen. They are all relationships at object level between programs, files, database tables, copybooks, screens, JCLs etc.
Double-click an object and the source code will display in the pane on the right as a new tab alongside Inventory.

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 QA report, coding standards report, migration assessment, etc.
From the top left dropdown list you can choose the project that you want to use as the scope for the Code Search Query.
The dropdown list next to it lets you choose the language of the sources.
Click Refresh to update the list depending on your choices.
Filter lets you search in the list of queries. You can then use the Search button to execute the query, or you can right-click a query and then select Search. All queries results appear in the Inventory pane.
When you start EA Web, this pane displays the Inventory tab with three different types of charts:
When you execute a query, the results from it appear in this pane as a new tab named after the query.
Doubleclick an element to see its source code. It will appear in a new view in this pane.
Doubleclick a result of a query to open the source code with the cursor on the corresponding line.
You can also right-click a variable and create an "Impact trace" for the variable. The impact trace will show you how the data flows to and from other variables, files, screens etc.
