Find Most-at-Risk Objects

This workflow is called by the Impact Analysis workflow. It is provided with a Pipeline, a set of used objects and a set of changing objects, and returns a set of most-at-risk objects and a usage data summary to the calling workflow. Note that table content changes are not processed when identifying the most-at-risk objects.

The depth used by the workflow to search for referenced objects may be set by an Administrator in the Configuration - Impact Analysis screen’s ImpactAnalysisDepth field. If you don't set this field, the workflow uses 10 as the default value.

If the Pipeline’s Tester Business Critical checkbox is checked, the Pipeline’s Search Test Repositories are searched to find used objects that have associated tests. These objects are treated as business critical, so that impacted objects that have associated tests will be identified as most-at-risk.
