Table 18. Tasks for Participant Data (continued) Task Action Delete a participant. Save the relationship instance. If necessary, you can delete a saved participant instance by right-clicking on the participant instance and choosing Delete Participant from the context menu. Relationship Manager removes the participant instance from the relationship table. If you do not want to remove the participant instance from the database, use the Deactivate Participant option (see "Deactivating and activating participants" on page 179). A deactivated participant retains its instance ID and its values. Save the relationship instance by performing one of the following tasks: v Select File > Save from the menu bar (activated when a relationship instance is selected). v Right-click the relationship instance and choose Save Relationship from the context menu. Save all relationship instances. InterChange Server Express generates the relationship instance ID and Relationship Manager replaces the ??? placeholder with this new ID. Relationship Manager updates the modified date on all saved participant instances to this date. Note: At least one participant instance and all key attribute data must be created before the relationship instance can be saved. Select File > Save All from the menu bar. InterChange Server Express generates the relationship instance IDs for any relationship instances that do not have one. Relationship Manager replaces any "???" placeholders with the new IDs. Relationship Manager updates the modified date on all saved participant instances to this date. Deleting relationship instances To delete a relationship instance from the relationship tables, select the relationship instance you want to delete and perform one of the following actions: v Select File > Delete Relationship from the menu bar. v Right-click the relationship instance and select Delete from the context menu. The relationship instance and its data are deleted from the relationship tables for the current relationship. Deactivating and activating participants A participant instance can be deactivated, or made inactive. Deactivating a participant instance removes it from the relationship instance and prevents it from displaying in the Relationship Manager window, but its record remains in the relationship table so it can be re-activated in the future. Deactivating a participant To deactivate a participant instance, right-click the participant instance you want to deactivate and choose Deactivate Participant from the context menu. The participant is removed from the Relationship Manager display but not from the relationship tables. Activating a participant To activate a participant instance, take the following steps: 1. Select View > Deactivated Participants from the menu bar. The Deactivated Participants window displays as shown in Figure 46 on page 180. Chapter 10. Using Relationship Manager 179
