Graphical Representation of a Business Component and a Multivalue Link

The following figure shows a graphical way to represent the relationship between Account business component and the Business Address multivalue link.

Address Id Field and Business Address Multivalue Link. In this image there are two grids. (1) Account Business Component (Parent), which has the following fields: Address ID, Alias, Full Name, ID; (2) Business Address Business Component, which has the following fields: Account ID, Street Address. The first grid has the value: 123 in the ID field. The second grid has the value: 123 in two cells in the column labeled Account ID. There is a 1:M relationship (labelled Business Address Multivalue Link) between the first grid (cell with the value 123 in the ID column) and the second grid (two cells with the value of 123 in the Account ID column).

The more table-like representation in the following figure shows how the Business Address multivalue link connects the two business components. The child points to the Business Address business component, which contains the multiple fields that make up the MVG.

Note: Two business components are used to represent an MVG.
