1:n relationships

1:n relationships between OData data groups are represented with parent data groups (e.g. Flights) and subordinate child data groups (e.g. Bookings) in Intrexx. If you establish the database connection in the properties of the child data group, and select the corresponding OData Collection (Table), then the potential 1:n relationships will be made available for selection.

In the next step, the data fields for the child data group can be selected. It will then be possible to display dependent records from child data sets in view tables on view and edit pages from the parent data groups.

m:n relationships

The Velocity callable "ODataLinksCallable" can be used to create and remove m:n relationships between two OData external data groups.

Creating an m:n relationship
$ODataLinksCallable.createLink(<Configuration GUID>, <Service GUID>, <Impersonation GUID>, <Source DG GUID>, <Source_Record_ID>, <Target Navigation Property>, <Target DG GUID>, <Target_Record_ID>)
Removing an m:n relationship
