Expert: Source-to-Target Impact Analysis
Nov 21 2007, 10:36 AM EST
The goal for this Expert is to locate all target tables for any given source table and output the results to a CSV. Through OMB+, I used the technique of parsing the result strings from OMBIMPACT DEPENDENCYTYPE calls.

Some assumptions used during development, which you can certainly modify:
· "Project" is equivalent to projects shown as top nodes in the Project Explorer
· "Study" is equivalent to Oracle databases under each project
· Select to analyze multiple source tables by using the Ctrl key
· Target tables have "_FINAL" as the suffix in the name

Known limitations:
· Patience is certainly virtuous; great results take time to produce
· OMBIMPACT DEPENDENCYTYPE is unable to detect impacts against columns embedded into expressions; and the pivot and unpivot operators

I am interested in using your project. What version of OWB is it saved as? Do you find this valuable?

The OWB client runs on Microsoft Windows 2000 in version 10.2.0.2. The server is a Sun 64-bit Solaris 10 in version 10.2.0.3 Do you find this valuable?
