Copying Dependent Objects

Copying Dependent Objects

When you copy an object, the Copy Wizard copies all dependent objects. While you set up a copy, you might want to view the objects or instances that depend on the object you are copying. For example, if you are going to copy a session and an associated connection object in a workflow, you can select the connection object in the Copy Wizard and see which sessions in the workflow use the connection.
The Dependency dialog box displays the objects that use a selected object. The objects display upward in a hierarchy. For example, if you view the object dependencies of a connection object when you copy a workflow, the Dependency dialog box shows the session that uses the source object and the workflow that uses the session.
If there are no object dependencies, the View Object Dependencies dialog box displays the following message:
<<No dependencies found for this object.>>
To view dependencies for an object:
  1. Select the object from the Overview area of the Copy Wizard.
  2. Click the View Object Dependencies button.
    The Dependency dialog box appears.
