Inheriting Only Direct Dependencies

Inheriting Only Direct Dependencies

Create a patch that inherits only direct dependencies when you do not have complete information about the design-time and run-time applications in order to minimize the impact that you have on the objects in the run-time application.

Example

You share an application with thirty other users. The application object that you need to update is a single streaming mapping that reads data from a Kafka data object. After testing the mapping in the run-time application, you edit the mapping in the Developer tool and deploy an application patch to update the mapping in the run-time application.
When you create the application patch, you select the mapping and choose to inherit only direct dependencies. When you select the mapping, the patch inherits the data object that the mapping uses.
The following image shows how the inheritance appears in the Incremental Deployment Wizard:
This image shows the Source Object Selection page in the Incremental Deployment wizard. Next to Include, the option "Selected objects" is selected. The table lists a mapping and a data object. The mapping is selected. The data object is inherited, and its row is greyed out. The bottom of the page states that 2 out of 2 objects are selected, 2 out of 2 objects will be updated, and 0 objects will be added.
The following image indicates the selected object and the inherited direct dependency:
This image shows a dependency diagram for an application. In the application, a mapping uses a data object. The mapping has the label "selected." The data object has the label “direct.”
