Abstract
A planning indication directed to a declaratively-described operation and a target MPP database is received where the operation includes multiple mid-operation states and the operation includes, for each state in the plurality of states, those types of devices in a MPP database which would be affected by that state if the operation were performed, including a first set of affected device types and a first mid-operation state. In response to receiving the planning indication, affected device(s) in the target MPP database which would be affected by the first mid-operation state if the operation were performed are determined without performing the operation on the target MPP database. This determination is based at least in part on the first set of affected device types included in the operation. The first mid-operation state and the affected devices are indicated in a display.
