Figure 45. Retrieving relationship instances The "retrieve relationships" window is also displayed when you open a relationship or connect to InterChange Server Express and specify a relationship to open. You can perform the following operations with the "retrieve relationships" window: v Retrieve the first 500 instances for the relationship, as described in "Retrieving all instances." v Retrieve a range of instances for the relationship based on the relationship instance ids, as described in "Retrieving by relationship ID." v Retrieve a relationship instance that contains a participant of a particular value you specify, as described in "Retrieving by participant data" on page 177. v Return a count of the number of instances for the relationship, as described in "Returning a count of the relationship instances" on page 177. Depending on the number of participants in the relationship definition and the number of participant instances in each relationship instance, these retrieval queries may take some time. Retrieving all instances Do the following to retrieve the first 500 instances for a relationship: 1. At the "retrieve relationships" window click Retrieve All. 2. Click Get Relationships. Relationship Manager displays the first 500 instances for the relationship. Retrieving by relationship ID Do the following to retrieve a range of up to 500 instances: 1. At the "retrieve relationships" window click Retrieve by ID. 2. Type the id of the first instance in the range you want to retrieve in the From field. 176 IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus: System Implementation Guide
