The SHOW USED_BY command displays the children of the element you specify. The display includes the properties of children and the values associated with these properties. The SHOW USED_BY command lists children if they have either directory or processing names. CDO looks first for the directory name and displays it if one exists. If a directory name does not exist, CDO then looks for and displays the processing name. A definition can only exist in the repository without a directory or processing name if it has a relationship to an owner that has a directory name. CDO displays a name unspecified message in this case. To display Oracle Rdb database definitions, specify the name of the database as the element-name parameter and use the /FULL qualifier. Because CDO displays the full path name of each repository element, you can use the SHOW USED_BY command to determine where each instance of a particular element occurs and how it relates to other elements.
