Asset dependencies

You can view object dependencies for an asset. You might want to view object dependencies before performing certain operations on an asset.
For example, you can't delete an asset if another object depends on the asset. You must first delete the dependent objects and then delete the asset. You can find the dependent objects by viewing the asset dependencies.
You can view object dependencies for an asset on the Explore page. To view object dependencies for an asset, in the row that contains the asset, click Actions and select Show Dependencies. The Dependencies page opens showing the Uses tab by default.
The Uses tab lists the objects that the selected asset uses. For example, a composite MCP server uses one or more Application Integration processes.
The Used By tab lists the objects that use the selected asset. For example, a composite MCP server is used by a deployed MCP server.
To drill down to the lowest level dependency, you can continue to show dependencies for each asset that appears on the Dependencies page. At the top of the Dependencies page, a breadcrumb shows the chain of dependencies.
