Dependents

The concept of dependents is key to Object Migration. Object Migration copies objects from an environment or updates an environment with objects from a different environment. Any object can have one or more objects dependent on it.

For example, a business object can have several forms; in order for the forms to properly migrate, the business object must already exist in the target environment or be contained in the same package. This means that the form is a dependent of the business object. In other words, the form cannot be imported without the business object.
