Chapter 7 Impact Analysis
Impact Analysis GUI
Impact Analysis GUI
The Impact Analysis GUI is available in Cisco ANA NetworkVision and displays the list of affected
service resources which are embedded in the ticket information. This section describes this list.
Affected Parties Tab
The Affected Parties tab displays the service resources (affected pairs) that are affected (automatic
impact analysis) for an event, an alarm, or a ticket depending on which properties window is opened. In
the case of an alarm or a ticket, NetworkVision automatically calculates the accumulation of affected
parties of all the subsequent events. For more information about accumulating affected parties, see
Viewing a Detailed Report For the Affected Pair, page 7-4.
The Affected Parties tab is displayed below.
Figure 7-1 Affected Parties Tab
The Affected Parties tab is divided into two areas, Source and Destination. The Source area displays the
set of affected elements, A side and Z side. The following columns are displayed in the Affected Parties
tab providing information about the affected parties:
• Location—A hyperlink that opens the Inventory window, highlighting the port with the affected
parties.
• Key—The unique value taken from the affected element’s business tag key, if it exists.
