    In the Architecture Analyzer you can also perform the following:
    • You can add both upstream and downstream related entities to an entity on the architecture analyzer canvas.
      • Upstream entities appear as the parents of a selected entity. They represent inputs, dependencies, or higher-level components that influence the selected entity. For example, for a business process, an upstream entity can be a business capability.
      • Downstream entities appear as children of the selected entity. They represent the outputs or consequences that are influenced by the selected entity. For example, for a business capability, a downstream entity can be a business application.
