You can analyze the impact of a change to an object (impact analysis) and identify the objects that take part in the definition of the object (lineage analysis) on any model object in the repository by right-clicking it in the Repository tab of the Browser and selecting Impact and Lineage Analysis.
By default, the analysis descends to only three levels of dependencies, but you can select more or fewer levels by selecting a number in the Repository analysis level list.
For detailed information about using this dialog, see Impact and Lineage Analysis. For information about the limitations of repository analyses, see Repository Rule Set Limitations.
Note: By default, impact and lineage analyses launched from the Repository tab use rule sets checked into the Library folder at the root of the repository. To use other rule sets to perform analyses in the repository (see Checking Rule Sets into the Repository), use the Choose Path tool above the rule set fields to select the folder containing your rule sets.
