IT plans to change values in a shared municipal code table used by many applications. What should precede the change?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Before you move a load-bearing wall, you check what rests on it. Shared code tables are load-bearing—use lineage and dependency metadata to see who breaks if the codes change.
Full Explanation
Dependency and lineage metadata support change-impact analysis for shared structures. Identifying downstream consumers before altering a code table reduces outages, silent report errors, and emergency rollbacks. Shared municipal code tables often sit under many applications, so skipping impact analysis is high risk. Use metadata to scope notifications and testing before the change.
