1 Purpose of the Reporting Feature

Impact Analysis is a reporting platform to build reports to visualize relations between entities. These connections come through several relations, which are:

  • relations made with connectors
  • relation type custom attributes
  • system relations (for example activities and organization units, or activities and information elements)

To run the Impact Analysis reports you need first to

  • 1. install the Impact Analysis platform (see chapter 2)
  • 2. design the reports (see chapter 3)

Configuration of the reports are stored in an EA/PD model. There are two strategies to set up the configuration:

  • Global configuration model: There is one configuration model for the whole QPR system. The report gets the available reports from this configuration model.
  • Local configuration model: The configuration is read from the model itself which is currently open. Alternatively the configuration model can be supplied as a parameter to the report.

Variable USE GLOBAL CONFIGURATION MODEL determines the used configuration strategy (see next chapter). Impact Analysis also supports gap analysis. The gap analysis compares two Impact Analysis reports and displays differences between them, i.e. which connections have been deleted and which are new.
