Where used list for channels

If you want to get certainty about the usage of a channel there are currently three ways.

  1. The Where-used list (In the main or context menu) can be made directly in the eBiss interface. Channels can be only referenced in Partner management, Jobs or Typesets.
  2. Alternatively, a system dump can be searched for the channel name using a suitable tool (such as GrepWin or Notepad++). If you get more than one hit, you have to assume that the channel is needed1).
  3. The now obsolete manual way is to search through all jobs, type sets and partners.

Note: In multi-node systems with public channels2) each node must of course be dumped and evaluated individually.

1)
side effect: you also get to know where it is used.
2)
These are possibly used in subordinate nodes.
