Relation types
I've created a Relation Type in a project in Composer 6.7sp1. Parent type is a custom type and the Child type is the same custom type. I've installed the project, watching the installation progress. The relation type was installed and I verified so by querying for the dm_relation_type in DA. The issue is when I right click on an instance of custom type, select 'Add Relationship', navigate to a 2nd instance of custome type, click Next on the wizard, I don't see my relation type in the dropdown. All I see is 'peer'. I also bounced the webtop tomcat instance prior to invoking 'Add releation' to ensure the data dictionary and cache is refreshed.
1) Can anyone assist in troubleshooting this issue?
2) Is there additional documentation or forum articles on relation types that one could point me to?
thanks,
Peter

Johnny, yes I have selected the child type. The sequence of steps is as follows:
1) In webtop, right click on the 1st of the objects participating in the relationshipd (parent), and select 'Add relationship'
2) This lauches the Add relationship wizard. Navigate to the child object in the wizard and select it. This results in the 'Choose a relationship' dialog. There is a 'Relationship' dropdown, and a free form text box 'Description'. The drop down only has a single value in it's list: 'peer'
I will review the manuals you suggest, but it is a straightforward process, so I believe that the relationship type, while it is in the repository, is not being recognized for some reason.
Thanks,
Peter

For whatever it is worth, I ran into this and discovered that I had to set the a_controlling_kind attribute to the value 'External' for the relation type to appear in the dropdown in Webtop and Administrator
