Highlighted at the top of the hierarchal relationship tree, on the entry line with the relationship icon is the placeholder for the relationship instance ID, which displays three question marks (???). Once you save the relationship instance or any of its participants, InterChange Server automatically generates the new relationship instance ID and Relationship Manager replaces the question marks with this instance ID. 2. Expand the new relationship instance by clicking on the plus (+) sign next to the ??? placeholder icon. The relationship tree displays participant definitions, participant instances, and participant key and non-key attributes beneath the relationship instance in descending order. 3.

Note: If the Value field for the attribute displays three question marks (???), the participant is managed by InterChange Server Express. You cannot enter values for these participants because InterChange Server Express automatically generates them when you save the relationship instance. The value is the same value as the relationship instance ID. At this point, you can perform any of the tasks in Table 18. Table 18. Tasks for Participant Data Task Action Save the participant instance. Add more participant instances. To save the new participant instance, right-click the participant instance and choose Save Participant from the context menu. Relationship Manager saves in the appropriate relationship table the data for this participant. The Modified column for the participant instances displays the date the participant was saved, which is the create date, in this case. Note: Once the participant data has been saved, it cannot be changed. To change its data, the participant must be deleted and another created. Repeat repeat step 3 in the previous list. Note: If you are working with an identity relationship, you cannot create more than one participant instance for a participant definition. 178 IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus: System Implementation Guide
