Run Impact Analysis Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to run the Impact rule you defined in Impact Analysis Manager for that view.

To access	Select Managers > Modeling > IT Universe Manager. Right-click a trigger query node in the Topology Map and select Run Impact Analysis or click the Run Impact Analysis Now button on the IT Universe status bar.
Important information	You can: Display in a new window all the CIs that are impacted by the trigger CI. The relationships in the map represent the Impact rules. The name of the relationship is the name of the Impact rule you defined in the Impact Analysis Manager. For details, see Show Map. Simulate how the statuses of the impacted CIs are impacted. For details, see Show in Views. Generate a report that displays a list of CIs that are impacted in the system as a result of the simulated changes. For details, see Generate Report. Note This dialog only appears if an Impact rule is defined for that view. For details, see Impact Analysis Manager.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A-Z)	Description
All Impact rules	Select to execute all impact rules in the system in the impact analysis.
Generate Report	Generates an Impact Analysis report, which displays information that is divided as follows: Grouping by CIT. All the impacted CIs (the CIs that are impacted in the system as a result of the simulated changes), sorted by CIT. Affected Application. All the impacted CIs that belong to a specific business service. Triggered CIs. The CIs that represent the changes you want to make to the system. For details on the Impact Analysis report, see Impact Analysis Report.
Impact rules bundle	Select the bundle containing the required impact rules for the impact analysis.
Only Impact rules located in specified bundle	Select to execute the impact rules from the specified bundle in the impact analysis.
Show in Views	Simulates how the statuses of the impacted CIs are impacted for the selected state. The Topology Map displays the statuses of the trigger CIs as well as all statuses of the CIs that are impacted by it. The Topology Map also displays the Impact Analysis indicators: A trigger CI is marked by this indicator: . A CI that is both an impacted and a trigger CI is marked by this indicator: . An impacted CI is marked by this indicator: . Note The statuses that appear here and the colors that represent each status are defined in the severity list for that state in the System Type Manager. For details, see Create/Update List/Enumeration Definition Dialog Box.
Show Map	Enables you to select an Impact rule, and then display in a new window, a simulation of all the CIs that are impacted by the trigger CI for the selected state. If only one Impact rule is defined for this CI, the Impact Rules window is displayed directly. For more details, see Show Impact Pane. The relationships in the map represent the Impact rules and the name of the relationship is the name of the Impact rule you defined in the Impact Analysis Manager. Note Show Map enables you to view the results of multiple triggers.
Trigger Severity	Select the required severity on the scale. Note The severity scale was defined for the state in the System Type Manager. For details, see System Type Manager. For example, you can create an Impact rule in the Impact Analysis Manager that defines the severity of the trigger query node as other than Warning (1). If you select a severity other than Warning (1), for example, Minor (3), the condition is met and the simulated changes in the system are triggered. For details, see the Impact Rules Definition Dialog Box.
