I know I have seen this done in WF8 where you can choose impact analysis on a master file and have it search your content folders as well but I just can't find how.

Right-Click on the master

When I right click on the master and select impact analysis, I can only search where the file is used within the reporting server. This is not very useful as my procedures are in content folders.

I was able to search the content folders from within Developer Studio.

From the WebFOCUS Environments section, Right-Click on Contents within the WebFOCUS environment you're interested in.

Select the Server, Application, and then Master that you're interested in.

Select the Content folder and click Analyze.

Perfect! I knew it could be done as I'd seen it before but couldn't figure out how. It isn't all that obvious.

Thanks so much.

I have a follow-up question related to this topic. How would I go about getting an impact analysis report across all master files? We have had some craziness in our development environment, and there have been many synonyms created that have never nor ever will be used. I would like to get a list of the master files which have no currently defined reporting elements referencing them.

Hi AlanB,

Please see [SOLVED] List Procedures by Synonyms.

Cheers!
