Service Development Help : Working with Elements : Configuring Dependency Checking for Elements
Configuring Dependency Checking for Elements
Designer automatically checks for dependents when you delete, rename, or move elements in the Package Navigator view. This dependency checking acts as a safeguard to prevent you from inadvertently affecting other elements on the Integration Server. This is especially important during collaborative development on the same Integration Server.
You can have Designer prompt you before deleting, moving, or renaming an element with dependents. You can also have Designer update local references when pasting elements.
The dependency checking options are enabled by default.
To specify dependency checking safeguards
1. In Designer, click Window > Preferences.
2. In the Preference navigation tree, click Software AG > Service Development > Package Navigator.
3. Under Preferences for the Package Navigator view, do the following:

Confirm before deleting
Instruct Designer to notify you before deleting an element used by other elements, such as flow services, IS document types, specifications, or triggers.
If Designer finds elements that depend on the element being deleted, Designer lists those dependents and prompts you to delete the element anyway or cancel the action. If you clear this check box, Designer deletes the element without prompting you.
Prompt before updating dependents when renaming/moving
Instruct Designer to alert you when dependents (that is, other elements that use the selected element, such as flow services, IS document types, or triggers) exist.
If dependents exist, Designer lists those dependents before renaming or moving the selected element and prompts you to:
*Rename/move the selected element and update references in dependent elements.
*Rename/move the selected element without updating references to it.
*Cancel the action.
If you clear this check box, Designer automatically updates dependents without prompting you.
Update local references when pasting multiple elements
Instruct Designer to update references when copying and pasting a group of elements that refer to each other.
If you clear this check box, Designer retains the original references in the copied elements.
4. Click OK.
