Chapter 13 Impact and Lineage Analysis
Analysis rule sets contain a list of analysis rules for each metaclass contained in the PowerDesigner metamodel librairies.
All analysis rule set files can be opened in the Resource Editor, and have the same basic category structure:
For more information about using the Resource Editor, see "Working with the Resource Editor" in the Resource Files and the Public Metamodel chapter in the Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner manual.
The root node of each file contains the following properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Specifies the name of the analysis rule set. |
| Code | Specifies the code of the analysis rule set. |
| File name | [read-only] Specifies the path to the .rul file. |
| Type | Specifies the type of the analysis rule set (impact or lineage). |
| Comment | Specifies additional information about the analysis rule set. |
The following libraries are available. You can expand any of these libraries, and select a metaclass in order to display its associated analysis rules:
| Library name | Corresponding model |
