Uses of TIBCO MDM Relationship Table in Repositories

The TIBCO MDM relationship table is a generic association table that stores associations and relationships.

The types of associations and relationships are as follows:

  • Relationships between records, defined in the repository model
  • Association of repository with output maps and input maps
  • Association between input maps for multirepository import and between output maps for multirepository export.
  • Association between attributes and attribute groups.
  • Hierarchy of classification codes and association with records.

Different types of relationships are identified by different relationship types. For example, a separate table is used for storing the associated data for each relationship associated with a repository that also has any relationship attributes.

More than one relationship of the same type is not possible between any two records. To create such relationships first create an intermediate association object.
