Dependency between data groups is very important as it determines the sequence in which they are executed and is also used to prevent loops.

Dependencies are calculated whenever a DSD is saved or refreshed, as well as when the Designer Dependency page is displayed. The process involves checking every aspect of a DSD to discover any dependencies.

However, there are times when a dependency cannot be discovered automatically. For example, if the data group referenced in a Value function is itself a function then fSeries cannot establish which possible data groups it may be dependent on.

In these rare cases, use the Data Group Dependencies page to specify a dependence by checking the box against each data group on which the current data group depends.

For information, the page shows any existing discovered dependencies.
