12.1.6.2 Dependency Configuration
Dependencies are configured using the AF_TB_COMBINATION_DEP_MAPPING table.
Each dependency includes:
- Template Name
- Parent Combination
- Child Combination
- Condition
The following table outlines the supported dependency conditions in the Template Builder Framework and describes how each condition controls the activation behavior of child combinations.
Table 12-6 Supported Dependency Conditions
| Condition Type | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Not Null or Has Value | The child combination becomes active when the parent combination contains any value. |
| Specific Value Match | The child combination becomes active only when the parent combination equals a specified value. |
The following rules define how dependency relationships are structured and enforced within a template in the Template Builder Framework.
- Dependencies apply within the same template.
- One parent can control multiple children.
- A child can depend on multiple parents, if supported.
- All dependency logic is configured through database mapping.
