Impact Rule Base Query Page

This wizard page enables you to define the properties of the TQL query on which the Impact rule is based. You can use an existing query or create a new query.

Important information

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.
For important information on the effects of making changes to the TQL query after creating it, see New Impact Rule/Impact Rule Properties/Save As Impact Rule Wizard.
