This chapter provides an overview of Relationship Types API and describes the use cases using this API.
This chapter contains the following sections:
The Relationship Type defines the structure of a relationship that is used to associate two assets.
Asset Subsystems
When creating or editing assets, Relationship Types are used to define or modify the relationships that exist between assets.
This section describes the use cases using the Relationship Types API. It contains the following topics:
Description
Creating a new type of relationship to be used between assets.
Sample code is as follows:
package com.flashline.sample.relationshiptypeapi; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; import java.rmi.RemoteException; import javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.base.OpenAPIException; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.AuthToken; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.RelationshipType; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.service.v300.FlashlineRegistry; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.service.v300.FlashlineRegistryServiceLocator; public class CreateNewRelationshipType { public static void main(String pArgs[]) throws java.rmi.RemoteException, OpenAPIException { try{ /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Connect to Oracle Enterprise Repository /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// URL lURL = null; lURL = new URL(pArgs[0]); FlashlineRegistry repository =new FlashlineRegistryServiceLocator().getFlashlineRegistry(lURL); // ////////////////////////////// // Authenticate with OER // ////////////////////////////// AuthToken authToken = repository.authTokenCreate(pArgs[1], pArgs[2]); // ----------------------------------------- // create the new relationship type String newRelationshipTypeName ="My-NewRelationshipTypeName"; //Relationship Type name must contain only alpha characters or hyphens RelationshipType newRelationshipType = repository.relationshipTypeCreate(authToken, newRelationshipTypeName); System.out.println("The new relationshipType id = "+newRelationshipType.getID()+" "); // ----------------------------------------- // set the direction definition and the display text describing the relationship type //// Two-way = "BIDIRECTIONAL" //// Two-way, order matters = "ORDERED-BIDIRECTIONAL" //// One-way = "UNIDIRECTIONAL" newRelationshipType.setDirection("ORDERED-BIDIRECTIONAL"); newRelationshipType.setDisplayPrimary("Contained In"); // Source Asset - 'Contained In' - Target Asset newRelationshipType.setDisplaySecondary("Contains"); // Target Asset - 'Contains' - Source Asset newRelationshipType = repository.relationshipTypeUpdate(authToken, newRelationshipType); // ----------------------------------------- // delete the new relationship type repository.relationshipTypeDelete(authToken, newRelationshipType.getID()); }catch(OpenAPIException lEx) { System.out.println("ServerCode = "+ lEx.getServerErrorCode()); System.out.println("Message = "+ lEx.getMessage()); System.out.println("StackTrace:"); lEx.printStackTrace(); } catch (RemoteException lEx) { lEx.printStackTrace(); } catch (ServiceException lEx) { lEx.printStackTrace(); } catch (MalformedURLException lEx) { lEx.printStackTrace(); } } }
Description
A target asset is related to other assets using My RelationshipType. Using this same relationship type, establish a relationship to an additional asset.
Sample code is as follows:
package com.flashline.sample.relationshiptypeapi; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; import java.rmi.RemoteException; import javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.base.OpenAPIException; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.Asset; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.AuthToken; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.RelationshipType; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.query.RelationshipTypeCriteria; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.service.v300.FlashlineRegistry; import com.flashline.registry.openapi.service.v300.FlashlineRegistryServiceLocator; public class FindRelationshipTypeAndUseInAsset { public static void main(String pArgs[]) throws OpenAPIException, RemoteException, ServiceException { try{ /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Connect to Oracle Enterprise Repository /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// URL lURL = null; lURL = new URL(pArgs[0]); FlashlineRegistry repository =new FlashlineRegistryServiceLocator().getFlashlineRegistry(lURL); // ////////////////////////////// // Authenticate with OER // ////////////////////////////// AuthToken authToken = repository.authTokenCreate(pArgs[1], pArgs[2]); Asset myAsset = repository.assetRead(authToken, 563); //MY_OTHER_ASSET_ID should be an integer and should be the id of an asset in the repository RelationshipType[] allRelationshipTypes = getAllRelationshipTypes(repository, authToken); for (int i = 0; i < allRelationshipTypes.length; i++) { if (allRelationshipTypes[i].getName().equals("MyRelationshipType2")) { //This is the relationship type, modify the assets that are related // using it RelationshipType myRelationshipType = allRelationshipTypes[i]; Asset otherAsset = repository.assetRead(authToken, 569); //569= MY_OTHER_ASSET_ID //MY_OTHER_ASSET_ID should be an integer and should be the id of an asset in the repository //add this asset to the list of related assets long[] oldSecondaryIDs = myRelationshipType.getSecondaryIDs(); long[] newSecondaryIDs = new long[oldSecondaryIDs.length + 1]; for (int j = 0; j < oldSecondaryIDs.length; j++) { newSecondaryIDs[j] = oldSecondaryIDs[j]; } newSecondaryIDs[newSecondaryIDs.length - 1] = otherAsset.getID(); myRelationshipType.setSecondaryIDs(newSecondaryIDs); } } myAsset.setRelationshipTypes(allRelationshipTypes); repository.assetUpdate(authToken, myAsset); }catch(OpenAPIException lEx) { System.out.println("ServerCode = "+ lEx.getServerErrorCode()); System.out.println("Message = "+ lEx.getMessage()); System.out.println("StackTrace:"); lEx.printStackTrace(); } catch (RemoteException lEx) { lEx.printStackTrace(); } catch (ServiceException lEx) { lEx.printStackTrace(); } catch (MalformedURLException lEx) { lEx.printStackTrace(); } } /** * This method returns every relationship type in the repository * @param repository * @param authToken * @return * @throws RemoteException */ public static RelationshipType[] getAllRelationshipTypes(FlashlineRegistry repository, AuthToken authToken) throws RemoteException { //Create an empty relationship type criteria object RelationshipTypeCriteria criteria = new RelationshipTypeCriteria(); criteria.setNameCriteria(""); RelationshipType[] allRelationshipTypes = repository.relationshipTypeQuery(authToken, criteria); return allRelationshipTypes; } }

Querying for related asset types.

Example of the RelationshipTypeQuery
try { RelationshipTypeCriteria rCriteria = new RelationshipTypeCriteria(); RelationshipType[] allRelationshipTypes = FlashlineRegistry.relationshipQuery(lAuthToken, rCriteria); } catch (OpenAPIException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (RemoteException re) { re.printStackTrace(); }
