Understanding Component Change Processing

When you change a model object, CA 2E records the type of the change in the All Objects list for the model object. Since the only model objects that can be affected by the change are those that use the changed object, a major part of component change processing consists of expanding usages for the changed object.

If the change was a public or private change, CA 2E expands usages for the changed object, identifies the using objects affected by the change, and updates the detail for the affected using objects in the All Objects list to indicate whether they need to be edited or regenerated.

Specifically, CA 2E determines the impact of a change on other model objects according to the following criteria:
