Generating an impact analysis report

Use the compare editor to create a report detailing the impact of changes that you want to make to the model.

Before you begin

You must compare objects from a source data model and a target database or data model before you can generate an impact analysis report.

Procedure

To create an impact analysis report:

  1. In the Structural Compare section of the compare editor, click the Impact Analysis Report button (Impact Analysis Report icon). The Create Impact Analysis Report window opens.
    Tip: Impact analysis consumes more resources than most comparison functions. To reduce the amount of time that is required for the workbench to analyze the impact of changes and generate a report, select fewer objects.
  2. Complete the fields in the window, then click OK to generate an XML file and a report.
