Object relationship

riya

Hi,

      I am trying to add relationship between two objects say A (parent) and B (child). Can i add the relationship as virtual even when none of the documents are virtual? What does it signify by saying virtual relationship. Some where i read in long run having a virtual relationship is better than other. Is this statement true or it doesn't matter if use "peer"?

ObjectRelationship objectRelationship = new ObjectRelationship();

objectRelationship.setTarget(retrieveDataObjects(parentID));

objectRelationship.setName(Relationship.VIRTUAL_DOCUMENT_RELATIONSHIP);

objectRelationship.setTargetRole(Relationship.ROLE_CHILD);

Thanks,

Riya

ObjectRelationships are used when you want to create a dm_relation object between objects or when you want to create a (document to folder or document to virtual doc) when all of the objects to relate are to be created in the same call as the relation.

When you want to create a relationship between existing folder or a virtual document (as to contain another object) use a RelationshipRelation.
