Use cases
NWPLATDEP is a junction entity linking two NWPLATINST records in a directional relationship. The sourcePlatform is the platform that has the dependency, and targetPlatform is the platform being depended on. For example, if IMS depends on Network Cloud, sourcePlatform=IMS and targetPlatform=Network Cloud.
