When there is no direction of data flow between PowerCenter objects, Metadata Manager does not display the objects in the impact summary.
For example, a mapping has a direct association with the Session task instance that runs the mapping. However, there is no direction of data flow between these objects. Therefore, when you view metadata details for the Session task instance, Metadata Manager lists the mapping as a related catalog object. Metadata Manager does not list the mapping in the impact summary.
For PowerCenter objects, the following relationship types do not appear in the impact summary:
Session task instance and mapping
When you view metadata details for a Session task instance, Metadata Manager lists the mapping that the Session task instance runs as a related catalog object but not in the impact summary.
