## 2. Configure Change Impact Analysis

After you set up the web service connection, choose how to enable Change Impact Analysis, and define which SAP system it connects to:

1. Open your existent SAP connection, or select **SAP** from the **New Connection** dropdown list.
2. Select **Change Impact Analysis connection**.
3. Under **Impact Analysis Access** select the view tabs corresponding to SAP change types that you want to display in your Change Impact Analysis:
   * **UI**: Selected by default, displays transactions impacted by the selected transports.
   * **API**: Displays the technical interfaces impacted by the selected transports, such as SAP BAPI, SAP RFC, SAP QUERY, and SAP IDOC.
   * **Security**: Displays security transactions and corresponding users impacted by the selected transports.
4. Under **Connection Source** select one of the following:
   * **Same as Heatmap**: Keep the same SAP connection details that you are using for the [Heatmap](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/heatmap). This means both functionalities will collect data from the same SAP system.
   * **New connection**: Create a separate SAP connection for **Change Impact Analysis**. This option allows you to use different authentication details while maintaining the same connection type as the Heatmap.

      :::note
      We recommend you to connect the Heatmap to your production system and Change Impact Analysis to your quality system for optimal risk evaluation.
      :::

      Follow the same steps as above, for creating an SAP web service connection.

      If your Heatmap connection uses a CSV file: You must create a new connection for Change Impact Analysis. Follow the same steps for creating either an [RFC](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/direct-connection-to-sap-instance#rfc-connection) or web service connection.
