Controlling the Display of Object Collections

You cannarrow or widen the analysis by changing the collections of impact and lineage objects that appear.

1. Open the Impact (or Lineage) Analysis Objects dialog box in any of the following ways:

   • [from preview] Right-click an object in the preview tree, or in the IAM Browser or diagram, and select Change Impact Analysis Objects or Change Lineage Analysis Objects to open a list of available collections of objects. A collection is listed here only if one or more impact (or lineage) objects belonging to the collection are present in the current analysis:

     
     
     
2. Select or unselect the following check boxes to control the display of collections:

   • S [Selected] - enables the display of the collection in your analysis.

   • L [Replace link object by extremity] - If the object is a link, this option hides it to simplify the display and view only the object at the other end of the link.

   • R [Recursive] - Displays recursive collections in a single list.

3. [optional] Click the Properties tool to open and review or edit the analysis rule set in the Resource Editor (see Analysis Rule Sets).
4. [optional] Click the Apply Changes to Rule Set tool to apply your changes to the rule set so that they are automatically applied next time.
5. Click OK to close the dialog box.

   The display of the selected object collections is updated in the preview tree or IAM. If you re-analyze your model, then the collection rules specified in the rule set are reapplied.
