Documentation
Definition
An association is a direct, uni-directional, binary relationship between two business object nodes.
Use
Associations can be used to relate two nodes in a well-defined direction. The association can be used to navigate from one node (source node) to the related node (target node). The associated nodes can be nodes within one business object or in different business objects (cross business object association).
Associations can have parameters to filter the result of the related nodes.
Dependencies
Associations can only be defined between two nodes and in one defined direction.
Associations have a defined cardinality which gives information about the existence of an association and the number of associated nodes.
Example
- Compositions are special associations that define the node structure of the business object.
- Specializations are associations along compositions that filter the results on one or more attributes with some constant values.
- Foreign key associations are associations with a cardinality 1:1 that are assigned to the key of the target node.
