Get Dependencies [To]

Step Details
Introduced in Version	4.0.0
Last Modified in Version	7.12.0
Location	Flow Management > Dependencies

The Get Dependencies [To] step retrieves a list of objects that depend on a specified object. This step is useful when reviewing designer elements before moving items between projects, assessing downstream impact during migration, or preparing for upgrades across major platform versions. Identifying dependent objects helps reduce deployment issues, avoid broken references, and better understand what may be affected by changes to the selected object.

Properties

Inputs

Property	Description	Data Type
Id	The ID for the entity or object	String
Type Name	The full Type Name of the object (i.e., DecisionsFramework.ServiceLayer.Services.ConfigurationStorage.ElementRegistration	String

Understanding the Full Type Name

The Full Type Name is the internal system name used to identify an object, such as a flow or other entity.

This value cannot be inferred from the entity ID alone and is not the same as the display name, such as Flow or Rule.

To determine the correct full type name, open the entity and select Manage > See Entity Details. The entity details page displays the full type name, which can be copied and used as input to this step.

Note:

The Manage > See Entity Details option is available in Decisions version 8.x and displays the entity’s full type name. This option is not available in later platform versions. If unavailable, the full type name must be obtained through alternative means that expose entity metadata (such as reports).

Outputs

Output	The list of Decisions objects and resources that depend on the input object	List of ModuleResourceDependencies
