Static relationships
A static relationship is used when to map data from one application
to the other and to define the values for the mapping during the definition
time of the relationship (for example, for state codes). In
one application the state code may be "California", while
in another application it may be "CA". A static relationship
is created between these two pieces of data indicating that they are equivalent.
The participant data that these types of relationships contain have values
that do not change frequently. These relationships exist for both identity
relationships and the non-identity relationships.
During the creation of the relationship, the same rules apply for identity
and non-identity relationships with the following differences:
- There is no managed role allowed as it is not needed for a static mapping.
- The allowed depth of attribute level is infinite.
- Instance data can be predefined within the relationship editor.
