Facing problems with impact analysis

Dear All,

I am facing a problem with impact analysis.

I have a CDT (XSD attached), which is used in multiple Process Model. Recently we have added one field to this XSD and recreated the CDT. When I do the impact analysis the system doesn't show the list of objects that uses this CDT.

The system displays the following

No applications contain references to the data type "MAC_CIQ." Results are current as of Aug 12, 2016 9:03:06 AM.

Thanks,
Senthil

  • Hi senthilr143 -
    If you have imported a new version of a CDT OR deleting the old cdt from the environment and imported the new one (WITHOUT CHANGING THE NAME AND THE NAMESPACE OF CDT - as the combination of these 2 Appian uses to determine if its the same CDT or different) and still you are seeing the above mentioned error, then in order to make this work make sure that
    your impacted process models & artifacts need to be part of an application and be published (so you don't lose the "saved only" changed) since the impact analysis publishes the models at the end of the update.

    Else, if you have changed the name and namespace of cdt as well as part of this cdt update, then it will be an expected behavior as Appian now treats them as a new CDT.
    If this is the case, simply revert back the name and the namespace present earlier before the cdt update - do the updates in the cdt field in that xsd and re-import in the environment and then perform impact analysis.
    Best practice to import the cdt now is to import the cdt using the 'Import the new version of CDT' feature present in the /design view.

    Hope it helps.
