    To generate semi-dynamic TBOMS, ensure that Usage and Procedure Logging (UPL) data is generated in the system and can be retrieved. For more information, see Checking the Prerequisites for Generating Semi-Dynamic TBOMs.
  - Generate TBOMs
    Create semi-dynamic or static TBOMs for the executable entities in your executable library. For more information, see Creating Semi-Dynamic or Static TBOMs.
  - Perform Obsolescence Checks
    Identify potentially obsolete TBOMS. For more information, see Scheduling Obsolescence Checks.
  - Delete TBOMs
    
    Delete obsolete TBOMs from one or more solutions. For more information, see Mass-Deleting TBOMs.
- Maintain TBOM filter table: To optimize business process change analyses by ignoring irrelevant objects in TBOMs, define filters. For more information, see Editing TBOM Filters.
- Maintain TBOM criticality table, to be able to adjust a test scope and optimization sequence according to it. For more information, see Editing the TBOM Criticality.
BPCA Test Scope Optimization tab page:
- Define the default times to create test cases, depending on the test case types. For more information, see Specifying Default Test Case Creation Times.
