SQL Queries - CAST Knowledge Base - Queries on objects - How to set Objects as external so as to ignore them

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose of Query

In order to ignore some objects in the snapshot computation, you can set them as external ones in the KB. So these objects will not be taken into account in the computation of the metrics grades neither of in the computation of technical size values to set object(s) as external

PLEASE NOTE: THE QUERIES BELOW ARE ONLY VALID IN CAST AIP 8.3.36 AND BELOW. FOR CAST AIP 8.3.37 AND ABOVE YOU MUST MODIFY THE QUERIES AS FOLLOWS:

SQL Queries - CAST Knowledge Base - Queries on objects - How to List the Calling and Called Objects

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose of Query

These queries provide a list of objects calling another object or being called by another objects. This output can be useful in metrics such as fan-in (calling objects) or fan-out (called objects).

In other words, if routine A calls routine B then routine A is the caller and routine B is the callee. i.e. the caller is the routine which is calling the callee.

Routine A is the calling object and routine B is the called object.
