Component Change Processing

Component change processing is an automated impact analysis tool that determines how a change to a model object affects other objects in the model and records whether the affected objects need to be edited or regenerated. Objects that use the changed object are referred to as using objects; the changed object is considered to be a component of its using objects.

Component change processing is optional and can be run interactively, by request, or in batch. You control it using the model profile and the Component Change Processing (YCMPCHG) model value.

The simulation options available on the Display Model Usages and Display Model References panels simulate the actions of component change processing. You can experiment with these options to become familiar with the process.
