Add user-defined relationships in your map
When you have relationships that are defined by your
programs, you can create a user-defined relationship in Database Navigator, so that your relationship is displayed in the map.
An example of this might be creating a user-defined relationship to remind
programmers of an important join between two tables.
To add user-defined relationships to a map:
- In the System i Navigator window, expand the system you want to use.
- Expand Databases.
- Click Database Navigator Maps.
- Double-click the map that you want change.
- Right-click the map and select Create.
- Select User-Defined Relationship.
- Type a Name
and a Description for the user-defined
relationship. Unlike some System i Navigator functions where the
description is optional, it is important to provide a meaningful description
for your user-defined relationship, since it is the only way for you to
indicate what the user-defined relationship represents.
- Select the objects that you want to include in the
relationship by selecting from the list of objects.
- Choose the Shape and Color you
want for the object.
- Click OK.
