source system upgrade ( impact analysis )

Post by sreddy »

Hi All


We have two different source systems, one of the source system is upgraded. Due to that some views are changed.

Now I am doing impact analysis on existing jobs. We have over 1000 server jobs. Now I am doing manually each category wise.

Any one provides me script that may help me a lot. :idea:


Thanks

Generate HTML report from your project (7.5.1 onwards) and search for the VIEW Name. You will be hitting the job name here and it would help you do the impact analysis.

Have you tried the Usage Analysis tool in the Manager? It can show you every job that uses a certain bit of metadata, such as the metadata for your source views.

You would have had to have imported the metadata for the View and used it in your jobs. Then a Usage Analysis on it would show you all of the jobs that you've used it in.

You are right, but in our project they are not maintain metadata correctly.
That is why i am checking with query that may fetch Jobname & Category.
After that i had take job report checking impacted target tables.

SELECT NAME FMT '40L', CATEGORY FMT '40L' FROM DS_JOBS WHERE JOBNO IN (SELECT OBJIDNO FROM DS_JOBOBJECTS WHERE EVAL
