Configuring the Multi-Value Link
The multi-value link object definition is a child of the originating business component. It identifies the link that provides the field values from the multi-value group business component. The multi-value link in the originating or joined (in the case of an indirect multi-value link) business component has the following important properties:
- Destination Link. Identifies the link object definition that provides the master-detail relationship between the originating (or joined) and multi-value group business components.
- Primary Id Field. Identifies the foreign key field in the originating, or joined, business component. The foreign key field identifies the primary record in the set of records for one multi-value group (in the multi-value group business component). The primary record is the one that displays in the originating or employing business component.
- Destination Business Component. Name of the child business component.
NOTE: An indirect multi-value link may be used in place of a conventional multi-value link when there is an existing link object definition which would be appropriate for use in a multi-value link, but the originating business component is different from the master business component. If there is a Join object definition that joins the desired master business component to the master business component of the link, the existing link can be used in the multi-value link.
When configuring a pick applet invoked from a multi-value group applet, define the Pick List on the originating field in the originating business component, not on fields in the multi-value group business component. Changes must also be made to the pick map. See the following example of configuring conjoined fields in MVG applets.
On the Contact Business Component, there is a Multi-Value Link, Contact Category (with Contact Category as the destination buscomp), and a Multi-Value Field, Category (with Category as a destination field). On the Contact Category BusComp, Category is a joined field with a picklist.
To modify Category using a multi-value group applet, you must configure the Category field on the Contact buscomp by completing the following steps:
