Modifying Records in Cross-Repository Relationship

You can also modify relationships spanning across repositories. The first repository in which you choose to modify records becomes the source repository. The repository with which the source repository establishes a relationship becomes the target repository.

You cannot modify a record when it is participating in a workflow. However, the Administrator can override this constraint and edit the record.

  1. Click Browse and Search.
  2. Select the name of the source repository of which you want to modify records from the Repository Name drop-down list.
  3. Click the View All button. A list of records is displayed.
  4. Click a record ID in the Record ID column. The View Record screen is displayed.

    1. If you have permissions, click the Save button to save the record directly to the database. An alert appears asking for a confirmation. Click Ok. When you save, each record is added and validated against its respective rulebase. Errors, if any, will be flagged on the Validate screen. Resolve the errors and save the record. When you save a record, the state of the record changes to confirmed.Whenever the record state is changed to confirmed, the record is saved in the Golden Copy table.
    2. If you do not have permissions, click the Save and Process button. Each record added is validated against its respective rulebase. Errors, if any will be flagged on the Validate screen. Once there are no errors, click Save and Process to initiate the workflow.
    3. If you click the Cancel button. the record and its associated relationships are not be added.
      Note: When relationships are being modified, bundling comes into effect. As a result, Save and Process can only be performed on the record which you originally started modifying.
