Configuring Two Links to Create a Many-to-Many Relationship

Siebel CRM uses two links with opposite parent-child settings to establish a many-to-many relationship that reference an intersection table. The Opportunity/Account link is an example of this type of link. The intersection table is S_OPTY_ORG. The Inter Child Column is OU_ID, which is the ID in the Account business component. The Inter Parent Column is OPTY_ID, which is the ID in the Opportunity business component. For more information, see How an Intersection Table Defines a Many-To-Many Relationship.

To configure two links to create a many-to-many relationship

• Set the Inter Table, Inter Parent Column, and Inter Child Column properties of the two links to establish the connection between the links and the intersection table.
