ListObjectDependencies

Lists dependency objects for reusable and non-reusable objects. If you want to list dependencies for non-reusable objects, you must use a persistent input file containing object IDs. You can create this file by running a query and choosing to create a text file.
ListObjectDependencies accepts a persistent input file and it can create a persistent output file. These files are the same format. If you create an output file, use it as input to the ApplyLabel, AddToDeployment Group, or Validate pmrep commands.
ListObjectDependencies returns the number of records if the command runs successfully.
The ListObjectDependencies command uses the following syntax:
listobjectdependencies

{{-n <object_name>

  -o <object_type>

  [-t <object_subtype>]

  [-v <version_number>]

  [-f <folder_name>] } |

   -i <persistent_input_file>}

[-d <dependency_object_types>]

[-p <dependency_direction (children, parents, or both)>]

[-s (include pk-fk dependency)]

[-g (across repositories)]

[-u <persistent_output_file_name>

  [-a (append)]]

[-c <column_separator>]

[-r <end-of-record_separator>]

[-l <end-of-listing_indicator>]

[-b (verbose)]

[-y (print database type)]

[-e <dbd_separator>]
The following table describes pmrep ListObjectDependencies options and arguments:
Option
Argument
Description
-n
object_name
Required. Name of a specific object to list dependencies for.
-o
object_type
Required. Object type to list dependencies for. You can specify source, target, transformation, mapping, session, worklet, workflow, scheduler, session, session config, task, cube, and dimension.
-t
object_subtype
Type of transformation or task. Ignored for other object types. For more information about valid subtypes, see Listing Object Types.
-v
version_number
Optional. List dependent objects for an object version other than the latest version. You must use this option only for versioned repositories. It does not apply to non-versioned repositories.
-f
folder_name
Folder containing object name. Folder is required if you do not use the -i option.
-i
persistent_input_file
Optional. Text file of objects generated from ExecuteQuery or Validate commands. You must use this file if you want to list dependencies for non-reusable objects.
If you use this option, then you cannot use the -n, -o, -f options to specify objects.
-d
dependency_object_types
Optional. Type of dependent objects to list. You can enter ALL or one or more object types. Default is ALL.
If ALL, then pmrep lists all supported dependent objects. If you choose one or more objects, then pmrep lists dependent objects for these types. To enter multiple object types, separate them by commas without spaces.
-p
dependency_direction
Required if you do not use the -s option. Parents or children dependent objects to list. You can specify parents, children, or both. If you do not use the -p option, pmrep does not list parent or child dependencies.
-s
-
Required if you do not use the -p option. Include the primary key-foreign key dependency object regardless of the direction of the dependency. If you do not use the -s option, pmrep does not list primary-key/foreign-key dependencies.
-g
-
Optional. Find object dependencies across repositories.
-u
persistent_output_file_name
Send the dependency result to a text file. Use the text file as input to the ApplyLabel, AddToDeployment Group, or Validate pmrep commands. The default sends the query result to stdout. You cannot use the -b and -c options with this option.
-a
-
Append the result to the persistent output file instead of overwriting it.
-c
column_separator
Character or set of characters used to separate object metadata columns. Use a character or set of characters that is not used in repository object names. If any repository object name contains spaces, you might want to avoid using a space as a column separator. You cannot use this option with the -u option.
If you omit this option, pmrep uses a single space.
-r
end-of-record_
separator
Character or set of characters used to specify the end of the object metadata. Use a character or set of characters that is not used in repository object names.
Default is newline /n.
-l
end-of-listing_indicator
Character or set of characters used to specify the end of the object list. Enter a character or set of characters that is not used in repository object names.
If you omit this option, pmrep uses a period.
-b
-
Verbose. Displays more than the minimum information about the objects. If you omit this option, pmrep displays a shorter format including the object type, the word reusable or non-reusable, the object name and path. Verbose format includes the version number and folder name.
The short format for global objects, such as label, query, deployment group, and connection, includes the object type and object name. Verbose format includes the creator name and creation time. You cannot use this option with the -u option.
-y
-
Optional. Displays the database type of sources and targets.
-e
dbd_separator
Optional. If an ODBC source has a period (.) in the name, define a different separator character when you define the source object. For example, instead of database_name.source_name, define the source object as database_name\source_name, and define the dbd_separator as backslash (\).
