Chapter 13 Impact and Lineage Analysis

Reviewing an Analysis in Preview

The impact and/or lineage analysis preview displays when you select an impact and/or lineage rule set in the Impact and Lineage Analysis dialog box (see Launching an impact and lineage analysis).

The impact and/or lineage analysis preview lets you review the application of your chosen analysis rules to the initial object and the impact on its impact and lineage objects on the following tabs:

Impact and Lineage – to both identify the objects impacted by a change on the initial object and the objects that influence the initial object (see Preview Impact and Lineage tab).
List – to save the analysis in RTF or CSV format, or print it (see Preview List tab).

In addition, you can customize and refine the analysis by adding or removing initial objects for example, changing the action on an object, and so on (see Refining an Impact and Lineage Analysis).
