Displaying the Dependencies of a Cached View
When you are working on a cached view, it is useful to know what resources are involved so you can understand the behavior of the view and the cache. The Lineage panel in Studio shows a resource’s dependencies, references, and any associated cache policies. The Lineage panel is also available for cached views.
The Lineage panel displays the view’s dependencies on its left and the resources that depend on it on its right. Cache tables are shown in green.
 
To display the dependencies and references of a cached view
1. Use one of these methods to open the Lineage panel:
Method
Description
Right-click a view that has caching enabled in the resource tree and select Open Lineage.
The Lineage panel opens in the workspace to the right. It displays all the resources related to the view in a graphical format. Use this method if the view has lots of objects because the entire workspace is used to display the dependencies and references. This lineage display also allows you to easily navigate the related resources and saves the history of the navigation.
Open a view that has caching enabled and click the Open Lineage Panel toolbar button.
The Lineage panel opens in the lower pane of the view’s editor and displays all the resources involved with this view in a graphical format.
