Performing Impact Analysis

Impact Analysis enables you to determine the effects that a change to one PeopleSoft EPM object may have on the other objects related to it. For instance, depending on the type of change you make to a warehouse table, you may have to change the tablemaps and datamaps built on top of the table. Impact Analysis provides a list of the objects that are related to the object that you want to change so that you can determine the impact of the change.

This topic discusses how to use Impact Analysis on PeopleSoft EPM objects.
