Impact Analysis

LANSA Version 13 SP2

Impact Analysis


Impact lists allow you to find objects that relate to a specific object so that you can assess the impact of a planned change.

Using the List Type Impact, you can select the objects you wish to be included in the list, and then, for each object type, you can specify a specific or common filter to narrow your selection.

For example, a common filter could be to search for a full or partial name. A specific filter could include, for each field in the object, the operators Like with or without the asterisk (*) wildcard, Equal to, Greater than, Less than, Less than or equal to as shown here:


Your list can be saved as a Static list or as an Excel file enabling you to re-use it again at a later time.
