fix

If you are using a version prior to 7.1 we recommend upgrading to 7.1 and applying the latest hotfix. However, if you are unable to upgrade, the following is a workaround other than re-running the Impact Analysis report before every use. Please perform the following procedure in the order written:

1. If the Analyze feature has been used once,  the 'Impact Analysis' report must be run again to gather all the correct information.
   
2. Once the Impact Analysis report has run, close DMA.
   
3. Open the Protar.MDB, found in C:\Program Files\NetIQ\DMA folder, with Access 2000.
   
4. Right-click theAccountRefs table, select Copy, right-click a blank area within the Tables list and select Copy.
   
5. Name the copy "AccountsRef Copy" with the Structure and Data opton selected. Close the Protar database.
   
6. Once DMA is opened and the analyze feature is used you will need to reset the data for the next use. This is done by Right-clicking the AccountsRef Copy table, selecting Copy, then Paste.
   
7. Enter AccountRefs for the table to be named and select Yes to overwrite the existing AccountsRef table.
   
8. This process should be done everytime the Analyze feature is ran.  If security references have been changed then the Impact Analysis report should be rerun and updated.

note

Evertime the analyze feature is ran the AccountRefs is not properly updated by DMA. This will cause the Analyze button to be disabled when used a second time. With a backup copy of the information, the AccountRefs table, you will be able properly update the information allowing you to rerun the Analyze feature without rerunning the Impact Analysis report.
