22.6 Dependency Checking

You can check dependencies for rules to know where a particular rule, dimension, member, attribute, IRC has been used. This also prevents accidental deletion of rules having dependencies.

To check the dependency of a Prepayment Model Analysis rule, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Prepayment Model Analysis window.
2. Search for a Prepayment Model Analysis rule. For further information, see the Searching for Rules section.
3. Select the appropriate Prepayment Model Analysis rule or rules and click Check Dependencies corresponding to the rule that you want to check for.

   Note:

   You can select more than one rule at a time to check dependencies.

   The Dependency Information window opens containing the following information: Child Object Name, Child Object Type, Folder, Parent Object Name, Parent Object Type, and Folder.

   You cannot delete a child object which has dependencies. You will get a message: Dependencies found. Cannot delete.

   To delete the child, you must first delete the outermost parent object which uses the child.
