Package: Check Dependencies

The module is able to check if the dependencies of a package are fullfilled in a client. Therefore a package archive or the package name and the dependency definitions has to be provided. The results of the check will be written to the report. Optionally the results can be written to a variable object.

Designation​

Name
pm.DependencyCheck
Aliases
DependencyCheck, pm.PackageDependencyCheck

Configuration​

Variable Object (variable)
Name of the variable object that will be just for storing the data
Variable Source Connection (variable-source)
If given it defines an alternative b4A connection where to find the variable objectMögliche Werte: <TabItem b4A Verbindungen>
XML Variable (xml-variable)
name of the XML variable object used to store the information
Key (xml-variable-key)
key in the XML variable object to use
XML Variable Source Connection (xml-variable-source)
If given it defines an alternative b4A connection where to find the variable objectMögliche Werte: <TabItem b4A Verbindungen>

Output​

The output can be to a static or an XML variable. Theoretically, both at the same time.

Static variable​

The static variable, which contains the result of the analysis, stores the following values in the individual columns:

  • Key: Counter

  • Value 1: Name of the package

  • Value 2: Operator of the dependency definition

  • Value 3: Version of the dependency definition

  • Value 4: Status

    • OK: The dependency definition matches in the target client
    • MISSING: The package is not installed in the target client
    • FAILED: The package is installed, but does not match the version comparison

  • Value 5: Installed version (for FAILED status)

XML variable​

If the result is written to an XML variable, the data is saved in the following format.
