DCM: Correct display of Workflow Dependancies

Hi there,

 

When you connect to a DB using a connection string or an alias - this shows up in the Workflow Dependancies in a way that is very useful to allow you to identify impacts if a DB is moved or migrated.

 

However - in 2023.1, if you use DCM then the database dependancies just show up as .\ which makes dependancy management much more difficult.

Please could you add the capability to view the DCM dependancies correctly in the dependancy window?

 

BTW - this workflow Dependancy Window would be a great place to build a simple process to move existing DB connections to a DCM connection!

Hi @SeanAdams, thanks for bringing this up. I can share that we have the issue addressed and the Workflow Dependencies dialogue should display the DCM connection names, however, it'll only be a part of the upcoming release later this year.

 

Great suggestion on leveraging this view when moving connections to DCM - we'll bring that up with the team!

 

Thanks!
