Summary
You might want to check if a given capability is being used in your Build Plans or not. This is especially useful when there are several similar capabilities defined, e.g., multiple JDKs.
Solution
The steps below refer to the Server capabilities, but they also apply to the capabilities listed on the JDKs and Executables pages under the Administration area of Bamboo.
You can check whether each server's capability is being used or not through the steps below:
- Click the "cog" icon >> Overview >> Server capabilities. The page will list all server capabilities configured.
- Click the name of the capability you'd like to check to load its Usage page.
- Please refer to the "Jobs" and "Deployment environments" tabs to check if any build plan's job or deployment is using that capability.
- If the capability is being used, you'll see the list of plans and deployments which reference it.
- If the capability is not being used, you'll see the following messages: "No job has this requirement" and "No deployment environment has this requirement".
