Re-enabling impact analysis and conflict detection functions

Edit online

An Impact Analysis tab and conflict detection features were provided in previous versions of release management. By default, these features are disabled in the release management component of this product. You can re-enable both of the features in your product environment.

About this task

Impact analysis features help you identify and document the consequences of implementing a release request; conflict detection enables you to identify implementation tasks whose schedules do not conform to the change windows for target or impacted CIs. You re-enable these functions on a security group–by–security group basis. Perform the following steps to re-enable impact analysis and conflict detection for release management:

Procedure

  1. To re-enable the Impact Analysis tab and conflict detection features for a release management security group:
    1. Open the Security Groups application (Open menu > Security > Security Groups) and open a security group that is defined for release management. See "Security groups" for a list of the release management security groups.
    2. Open the Applications tab, and scroll to and highlight Releases in the list of applications.
    3. In the second Options for Releases table, scroll to and check Show the Impact Analysis tab in the Releases application.
    4. In the second Options for Releases table, scroll to Impacted CIs not in Change Window, open the Conditions, and remove the PMCHGNOSHOW condition.
  2. Perform this set of steps for each of the security groups for which you want to grant access to the Impact Analysis tab and conflict detection features.
