Creating a Link

The relationship between houses and house renovations is one to many; there can be many renovations recorded for one house. Therefore, you need a link to create the parent-child relationship between the Internal Product business component and the NREC Renovations VBC business component. Internal Product is the business component that NREC is using to store houses. See NREC's entity relationship diagram shown in Figure 2.

To create a link between parent and child business components

  1. Select the Link object type.
  2. In the Links window, add a new record using the following values:
