Features

If a particular CORE file with layered support has been modified in several layers and modifications in all the layers are in the Modification folder, they are treated as related files. Related files are displayed together in adjoining rows in the grid, and remain so even when sorted. These files are distinguished by icons.

Annotate High Impact

Comment Column

In order to display the impact as High, you can add an annotation in the source code file, CUSTor EXTlayer.

Database code files:

@UpdateAnalyzer #Comment=Make sure to merge any CORE changes  
 PROCEDURE...

Client files

//@UpdateAnalyzer #Comment=Make sure to merge any CORE changes

Because of this annotation, IFS Update Analyzer will give the impact as High* and display the trailing text in the comment column.
