Introduction to Impact Analysis
Note:  
The Impact Analysis feature of CentraSite Control that is used to easily navigate and visualize the associations between the catalog assets and registry objects, and hence identify the impact when updating or deleting assets in the catalog has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Instead, you can use the Asset Navigator interface of CentraSite Business UI helps you to easily navigate and visualize the dependencies between assets for various use cases.
The Impact Analysis feature of CentraSite Control offers the possibility of viewing associations between the registry objects and hence identifying the impact when updating or deleting an asset in the CentraSite Control.
This feature enables you to easily navigate and visualize the associations between the catalog assets and registry objects. This feature helps you to:
*Understand asset-to-objects associations by displaying the associations that exist between the catalog assets and other registry objects.
*Check that existing associations between the assets and objects are not violated when you make changes in the registry. Also, check the external links from registry objects to supporting documents.
*Determine the impact that updating or deleting an asset would have on its related objects.
You can visualize the currently defined associations for an asset with other registry objects, either in graphical or tabular form. The graphical representation is enabled through a Flash-based web browser.
Note that apart from the assets, you can also view the impact analysis for other CentraSite objects like organizations, users, groups, and roles through the object's context menu.
