Impact Analysis

Assess the impact of modifying or removing a configuration on a Datex Studio branch. This skill analyzes dependencies only — it does not make changes.

When to Use

• Before modifying input/output parameters of any config
• Before removing a config from a branch
• When a calling skill (e.g., function-creator, datasource-creator) needs to verify that a contract change is safe

Workflow

Step 1: Find callers

dxs source explore reverse-trace <reference_name> --branch <branch_id>

This returns all configs that reference the target. Use --type <type> to speed up lookup if the config type is known (e.g., --type flow, --type datasource).
