Managing Model Objects › Impact Analysis › Introduction

Introduction

This discussion of CA 2E's impact analysis tools are divided into the following sections:

• Model Object Cross References—Discusses commands and interactive panels you can use to determine usages and references for any model object.
• Simulating Changes to Model Objects—Shows how to simulate a change to a model object to determine the impact of the change on other model objects.
• Component Change Processing—Discusses component change processing, an automated impact analysis tool that determines how a change to a model object affects other objects in the model and also records whether the affected objects need to be edited or regenerated.
