Changing the values of a relationship instance

Why and when to perform this task

One of your customers has a customer ID of A004 in your CIS application. This same customer has a customer ID of 801 in your GL application. However, due to a data entry error, the relationship instance that correlates the customer IDs of this customer currently has a value of 901 instead of 801 for the GL customer ID. This tutorial takes you through the steps to correct this entry in the relationship.

Steps for this task

  1. Open the WebSphere Process Server administrative console.
  2. If security is enabled, log in as a user with administrator privileges.
  3. In the navigation pane, click Integration Applications > Relationship Manager.
  4. Open the relationships page for the server you want to manage by clicking Relationships next to that relationship services MBean.

    A relationship named SampleCustID should be visible.

  5. In the Select column, select SampleCustID; and click Query.
  6. Click the query By role tab; and in the Role name field, select MyGLCustomer_0 from the drop-down list, enter 901 in the Value field under Key attributes, and click OK.

    This locates the relationship instance for the requested customer and displays the Relationship instance results page.

  7. Click the relationship instance ID.

    This will display the relationship instance data for customer ID 901 in the GL application, including all the associated role instances.

  8. In the MyGLCustomer_0 role table, select the role instance ID with the key attribute value 901; and click Delete below the role table.
    Note: It should not have any property values associated with it. If any other data appears, you need to look at the role instance and record any data you want to keep.
  9. Click Create to create a new role instance for this relationship instance.

    The New role instance page will open.

  10. Enter 801 in the Value field under Key attributes, and click OK.

    The new role instance will be saved, and you should see a new role instance in the table.

Result

You now have the correct customer ID value in the relationship instance for the GL application.
