4.Viewing Object Dependencies Before we change or delete repository objects, we can view dependencies to see the impact on other objects. For example, before you remove a session, we can find out which workflows use the session. We can view dependencies for repository objects in the Repository Manager, Workflow Manager, and Designer tools. Steps: 1. Connect to the repository. 2. Select the object of use in navigator. 3. Click Analyze and Select the dependency we want to view. 5.Validating Multiple Objects We can validate multiple objects in the repository without fetching them into the workspace. We can save and optionally check in objects that

change from invalid to valid status as a result of the validation. We can validate sessions, mappings, mapplets, workflows, and worklets. Steps: 1. Select the objects you want to validate. 2. Click Analyze and Select Validate 3. Select validation options from the Validate Objects dialog box 4. Click Validate. 5. Click a link to view the objects in the results group. 6.Comparing Repository Objects We can compare two repository objects of the same type to identify differences between the objects. For example, we can compare two sessions to check for differences. When we compare two objects, the Repository Manager displays their attributes. Steps: 1. In the Repository Manager, connect to the repository. 2. In the Navigator, select the object you want to compare. 3. Click Edit > Compare Objects. 4. Click Compare in the dialog box displayed.

7.Truncating Workflow and Session Log Entries When we configure a session or workflow to archive session logs or workflow logs, the Integration Service saves those logs in local directories. The repository also creates an entry for each saved workflow log and session log. If we move or delete a session log or workflow log from the workflow log directory or session log directory, we can remove the entries from the repository. Steps: 1. In the Repository Manager, select the workflow in the Navigator window or in the Main window. 2. Choose Edit > Truncate Log. The Truncate Workflow Log dialog box appears. 3. Choose to delete all workflow and session log entries or to delete all workflow and session log entries with an end time before a particular date. 4. If you want to delete all entries older than a certain date, enter the date and time. 5. Click OK. 8.Managing User Connections and Locks In the Repository Manager, we can view and manage the following items: Repository object locks: The repository locks repository objects and folders by user. The repository creates different types of locks depending on the task. The Repository Service locks and unlocks all objects in the repository. User connections: Use the Repository Manager to monitor user

connections to the repository. We can end connections when necessary. Types of locks created: 1. In-use lock: Placed on objects we want to view 2. Write-intent lock: Placed on objects we want to modify. 3. Execute lock: Locks objects we want to run, such as workflows and sessions Steps:
