What results can you expect?

Once the analysis/snapshot generation has completed, you can view the results in the normal manner (for example via CAST Enlighten). Some examples are shown below.

Evolution

  • Reading Cluster Information from configuration file

Limitations

  • If index names are not resolved, the links are created between methods and default or unknown index objects
  • Bulk operations using ObjectInitializerSyntax result in useLinks only
  • Version .NET SDK 6.x and 7.x are supported
  • No labels
