This menu item is available if a project, document folder or document is selected. When a project or folder is selected it determines the dependencies of the documents in the project or folder. When a document is selected it does the same for that document. Compute Dependencies also re-computes usage information for models, i.e., it determines again which Text Blocks, Views and Forms it inserts. It does so only for the [published], [accepted], [current], and [in development] revisions. Refer to Usage information
Dependencies exist where a document is included in another document. Dependencies need to be computed when an object shows a clock in its icon. Dependencies can be viewed under:
The `included by´ folder shows all documents that include this document. The `includes´ folder shows all documents that are included in the Revision.
Refer to Dependencies for a complete overview of all dependencies.
Clicking the cancel button on the progress window will interrupt the analysis.
Note
The search paths for include documents set in the configuration of a project are used to compute the dependencies. This means that any change in the include path settings of a project will make the dependency information outdated. If an included document cannot be found the analysis fails. The documents for which the analysis failed are listed in a new ITP/MDK Repository window. The document revisions that failed are shown in the content pane. Clicking on one of them will show the cause of the failure in the Description pane.
Compute dependencies is also available in the Action menu.
