Administering Task Dependencies

You can view Dependencies in the GridServer Administration Tool. Select Services > Services > Service Sessions, or from the Task Admin page, available from the Actions list on the Service Session Admin page. On either page, select Service Session Details or Task Details from the Actions list. View the details for a list of Dependencies showing which are pending and which are complete.

You can remove Dependencies from a task or Service with the Remove Dependencies action on the Actions list on the Task Admin page. This removes the entire Dependency object, which removes all pending Dependencies; there is no a way to remove a single Dependency from the Administration Tool.

Note 

Task Dependencies are Broker-scope, and rely on Service and task events on a Broker. They do not work across Brokers.

Because the default for the PURGE_INVOCATION_DATA option is SERVICE_COMPLETED, task information can be lost on a Service, making a dependent Service unavailable to find the information. In this situation, you can set PURGE_INVOCATION_DATA to SERVICE_REMOVED instead.
