Viewing references and dependencies of a service

There may be a need to know where all a service has been used or what all has constituted a service. Dependencies indicate where all a service has been used whereas references indicate what all have been used in a service.

An intuitive interface makes it easier for a user to understand what he needs to do to see the relevant information. Adeptia Connect makes it effortless for you to navigate to the section that contains the information about a service's dependencies and references. It provides two separate options under the Action menu to view the dependencies and references.

For example, you may want to know which all entities have used a process flow or what all services are part of that process flow. The following sections explain how to view the dependencies and references of the process flow:

• Viewing dependencies
• Viewing references

Viewing dependencies

1. Log in to Adeptia Connect.

2. Click Configure > Process Flow.

3. Under the Action menu for a process flow, click View Dependencies.
   
   
   
   A screen displays the list of dependencies for the selected process flow. From the Action menu, for an individual dependent service, you can perform more actions, for example, edit, view, check-in, and so on.
   
   
   
   

   You can view dependencies for all the services in Adeptia Connect.

Viewing references

Before you go to check for references of a service, make sure that it lies under any of the three categories process flows, templates, and transactions. You cannot see references of other types of services.

1. Log in to Adeptia Connect.

2. Click Configure > Process Flow.

3. Under the Action menu for a process flow, click View References.
   
   
   
   A screen displays the list of references for the selected process flow. From the Action menu, for an individual reference of the process flow, you can perform more actions, for example, edit, view, check-in, and so on.
