Where-used list for mappings

If you want to be sure about the use of a mapping, there are currently only two ways.

  1. The Where-used list (in the main or context menu) can be executed directly in the eBiss user interface. Mappings can only be referenced in Jobs or Type sets.
  2. Alternatively, a system dump can be searched for the mapping name with a suitable tool(such as: GrepWin or Notepad++). If more than one result is found1) you have to assume that the mapping is needed2).
  3. The obsolete manual way is to search all jobs and their mapping transformers and all type sets.

Note: In multi-node systems with public mappings 3), of course, each node must be dumped and evaluated individually.
