Chapter 10. Using Relationship Manager Relationship Manager allows you to view and perform operations on relationship runtime data, including participants and their data. For background information about relationships, see the Map Development Guide. You create relationship definitions with Relationship Designer Express. At runtime, instances of the relationships are populated with the data that associates information from different applications. This relationship instance data is created when the maps that use the relationships execute. The data is stored in the relationship tables specified in the relationship definition. Relationship Manager provides a graphical interface to interact with the relationship tables regardless of the database vendor. For each relationship instance, Relationship Manager displays a hierarchical listing of its participant definitions and participant instances, which are a set of key and non-key attributes. The relationship tree also provides detailed information about each of the participants in the relationship instance such as the type of entity, its value, and the date it was last modified. A relationship instance ID is automatically generated when the relationship instance is saved in the relationship table. Relationship Manager displays this instance ID at the top level of the relationship tree. Figure 42 on page 172 shows a sample of a relationship tree in Relationship Manager for an identity relationship. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2001, 2004 171
