Assessing the impact of a change on files in a volume
The project model diagram can help you assess the impact of a change within an Actuate BIRT project. The project model diagram cannot, however, show the impact of a change on files in a volume such as report designs created in Report Studio and dashboard designs. To assess the impact of a change on files in a volume, you must use the following command-line scripts:
*encycDownload.bat
encycDownload.bat downloads files and folders from a volume to a project in the local file system.
*encycAnalyze.bat
encycAnalyze.bat determines the dependencies between files in the project.
*encycFind.bat
encycFind.bat assesses the impact of a change to a file, data set, column, or parameter and generates an impact report.
These scripts reside in <BDPro_HOME>\eclipse and are only supported on platforms that support BIRT Designer Professional. Each script takes several arguments. Paths and arguments that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks (").
