Analyzing impact and dependency for data objects

Use the Impact Analysis window to specify direction and expansion options for data object impact analysis.

You can use the Impact Analysis window to find dependencies among data objects. For example, if you want to copy a schema from the Database Explorer to the Data Project Explorer, you can find which objects have dependencies on the schema to ensure that all references are resolved. You can also use the Impact Analysis window to analyze impact. For example, if you modify an object, you can view the list of objects that might be impacted. You can analyze data objects in the Database Explorer, the Data Project Explorer, or in a data diagram.

To analyze impact and dependency for data objects:

  1. Right-click a supported data object, and click Analyze Impact from the pop-up menu. The Analyze Impact window opens.
  2. Specify options for the analysis.
The data object is analyzed, and the results are displayed in the Model Report view. Also, an impact analysis diagram is generated to show relationships.
