The relationship SOAP API methods enable the retrieval
of information about relationships between entities in the system.
getRelationshipBetweenEntities() SOAP API method
Given two entities individually identified by entity ID
or by the external ID and data source code of a composite identity,
this service requests and returns the details of the best relationship
between the two entities, if they relate at all. If the two entities
are the same then the return value indicates this with the number
of degrees of the relationship being equal to zero. The UMF API equivalent
of the getRelationshipBetweenEntities method are
the SOA_RELATIONSHIP_BETWEEN_ENTITIES_REQUEST input document and the
SOA_RELATIONSHIP_BETWEEN_ENTITIES_RESPONSE output document.
getDirectEntityRelationships() SOAP API method
Finds all direct (one-degree) relationships for an entity
regardless of path strength. The entity is identified by its entity
ID or by the external ID of one of its constituent identity records.
The UMF API equivalent of the getDirectEntityRelationships method
are the SOA_DIRECT_ENTITY_RELATIONSHIPS_REQUEST input document and
the SOA_DIRECT_ENTITY_RELATIONSHIPS_RESPONSE output document.
