Asset dependencies

Asset dependencies

You can view object dependencies for an asset. You might want to view object dependencies before performing certain operations on an asset.
For example, you can't delete an asset if another object depends on the asset. You must first delete the dependent objects and then delete the asset. You can find the dependent objects by viewing the asset dependencies.
You can view object dependencies for an asset on the
Explore
page. To view object dependencies for an asset, in the row that contains the asset, click
Actions
and select
Show Dependencies
. The
Dependencies
page opens showing the
Uses
tab by default.
You can also view object dependencies for a taskflow from the taskflow designer page. Open the taskflow, click
Actions
, and click
Show Dependencies
. The
Dependencies
page opens showing the
Uses
tab by default.
The
Uses
tab lists the objects that the selected asset uses.
For example, a mapping task might use a connection, mapping, and runtime environment.
The
Used By
tab lists the objects that use the selected asset.
For example, a mapping might be used by one or more mapping tasks.
To drill down to the lowest level dependency, you can continue to show dependencies for each asset that appears on the
Dependencies
page. At the top of the
Dependencies
page, a breadcrumb shows the chain of dependencies.
The following image shows that the asset mt_FilterArchCustRecords is dependent on m_FilterCustRecords, which is dependent on FF_USW1PF:
The Dependencies page displays the breadcrumb, mt_FilterArchCustRecords Dependencies > m_FilterCustRecords > FF_USW1PF. The Uses tab lists one dependency in the Name column, USW1PF. The Type column lists Runtime Environment. The location column is blank. The Updated By column lists ltroy.ma. The Status column is blank.
If you have the appropriate permissions, you can perform actions on the
Dependencies
page such as viewing or deleting assets. To view or delete an asset, in the row that contains the asset, click
Actions
and select the action.
If you work with source controlled assets, you can view source control information such as the last pull time and the last check-in. To view source control information, you can add the following source control columns to the table:
  • Last Pull Time
  • Checked Out By
  • Last Check in
  • Git Hash
You cannot view dependencies for
advanced configurations
.
