• Any major change made to the TQL query after creating an Impact rule causes the system to delete the rule. These changes include deleting a root cause or impacted query node or changing the Min and Max relationship definitions. For details, see Cardinality Tab.
• Minor changes, such as adding a query node to the TQL query, do not cause the deletion of the rule.
• The Impact Analysis TQL query that serves as the basis of the Impact rule, is subject to certain validation restrictions. For details, see Troubleshooting and Limitations – Topology Query Language . If the TQL query is not valid, it cannot be used for the creation of an Impact rule.
