BizTalk 2013 Artifact Dependency Viewer

In a typical bizTalk server enviroment that has been around for sometime and you have multiple developers working on the environment figuring out which artifact is being used by which other artifact becomes a pain. For instance a pipeline component that you are trying to undeploy might be used by some other solution and it was not very easy to find out which other port is using it.
 
 



In BizTalk 2013 there is an Artifact explore that will show you all the dependencies that exist. It will do it wheather an artifact uses another artifact as well as whether an artifact is used by another artifact. For  Example it will tell you which maps are used by a particual send port , but also show which Orchestrations are using that Send port. Here is a full table of what the Artifact Explorer shows
 



Quite nifty and useful, isn't it ?
