Relationship manager

The relationship manager is the administrative interface for managing relationships. It is accessed through the Relationship Manager pages of the administrative console.

The relationship manager provides a graphical user interface for creating and manipulating relationship and role data at run time.

You can manage relationship entities at all levels: relationship instance, role instance, and attribute data and property data levels. With the relationship manager, you can:

• View a list of the relationships in the system and detailed information for individual relationships
• Manage relationship instances:
  • Query relationship data to view subsets of instance data
  • Query relationship data to view subsets of instance data using database views
  • View a list of relationship instances that match a relationship query and detailed information about an instance
  • Edit the property values for a relationship instance

  • Create and delete relationship instances

• Manage roles and role instances:
  • View details about a role or a role instance
  • Edit role instance properties

  • Create and delete role instances for a relationship
  • Roll back relationship instance data to a point in time when you know the data is reliable

• Import data from an existing static relationship into your system, or export data from an existing static relationship to an RI or CSV file
• Remove relationship schema and data from the repository when the application that uses it is uninstalled
