Package: Dependency Search (reverse)

The module checks all packages in a client if any depend on a given one. Therefore, all metadata in the client is read and the dependency definitions are search for the given package.

Designation​

Name
pm.RequiredBy
Aliases
DependencySearchReverse, pm.DependencySearchReverse

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: Name of the package found

  • Value 1: Name of the package found

  • Value 2: Dependency definition for the specified package

  • Value 3: Complete dependency definition of the package found

  • Value 4: If a version was specified when the module was called, the status of the dependency is specified here

    • OK: The version comparison matches the installed version
    • WRONG_VERSION: The version comparison does not match the installed version

XML variable​

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