Use

Definition of Role Categories

The role categories (for example, predecessor, successor, offer, order) form the nodes of a link. The link categories are defined between these role categories. A role category can group multiple document categories and a document category can be used in multiple role categories. The role category determines the semantic of an object in a link.

Definition of Link Categories

The link categories describe possible links between the defined role categories. The link category defines the semantic of the link between two documents (or roles). You specify for each link category the table in which these links are stored. Use a table from cross-system and cross-partner document flow. Split the management of the links between various tables to improve performance. By doing this you reduce the number of entries per table. Only one table is used for each link category, but multiple link categories can be stored in the same table.

You can use only one link category to connect two role categories. Include the same object type in multiple role categories to connect the same documents using different links.

Link Attributes, Additional Data

You can assign attributes or additional data to each link category. The additional data must be managed by a persistent class. Assign at least the network ID link attribute to the link category. This link attribute manages the assignment of an individual link to a related network.

You can optionally update the additional data belonging to a link. You cannot update additional data for a link that is not assigned to the relevent link category. When you delete the link the additional data is also deleted.
