Impact Type Classification
When working with transformations on Projects (or Transformation Items), the BTM module will automatically create relations to the Fact Sheets affected by those transformations (e.g., from the Project to an affected Application). It will also classify the type of impact and add it as an “Impact Type” to the respective relation.
The Impact Type Classification enables new filtering possibilities, such as filtering for all Applications that will be introduced by a given Project or all Projects that are planning to make an Application Rollout next year.
Furthermore, the Impact Type can be used as a view option in reports. For example, in an Application Landscape clustered by Projects.
Information
As there might be several impact types applicable for the same item, the color in the report is based on the order as depicted in the legend. The impact type most to the left wins over impact types more to the right.
Classification Rules
The classification is supported for Applications and Interfaces and follows these rules:
Classification of Application impacts
Changes of lifecycle
| Impact Type | Technical Value | Indicator (based on impacts) |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | introduction | Application set to active |
| Discontinuation | discontinuation | Application set to phase out |
| Decommissioning | decommissioning | Application set to end of life |
Changes regarding related user groups
| Impact Type | Technical Value | Indicator (based on impacts) |
|---|---|---|
| Rollout | rollout | User Group relation added to Application |
| Withdrawal | withdrawal | User Group relation removed from Application |
Changes regarding other related objects
| Impact Type | Technical Value | Indicator (based on impacts) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope Change | scopeChange | Business Capability relation added / removed |
| Technical Change | technicalChange | IT Component relation added / removed |
| Interface Change | interfaceChange | Interface relation added / removed |
Classification of Interface impacts
Changes of lifecycle
| Impact Type | Technical Name | Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | introduction | Interface set to active |
| Discontinuation | discontinuation | Interface set to phase out |
| Decommissioning | decommissioning | Interface set to end of life |
Changes regarding related user groups (non-standard configuration)
| Impact Type | Technical Name | Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| Rollout | rollout | User Group relation added to Interface |
| Withdrawal | withdrawal | User Group relation removed from Interface |
Changes regarding other related objects
| Impact Type | Technical Name | Indicator |
|---|---|---|
| Scope Change | scopeChange | Data Object relation added / removed |
| Technical Change | technicalChange | IT Component relation added / removed |
