Here a schema attribute of the user management of the portal can be used. For each user the GUID of the static user will be saved in the attribute. That way different static logins per Intrexx user can be used for the target system.

1:n relationships

1:n relationships between OData data groups are represented with parent data groups (e.g. Flights) and subordinate child data groups (e.g. Bookings) in Intrexx. If you set up the database connection in the properties of the child data group and select the corresponding OData collection (table), the possible 1:n relationships are then offered for selection. In the next step, the data fields for the child data group can be selected. On view and edit pages of the parent data groups, there is then the possibility to show dependent data records from child data groups in view tables.

m:n relationships

The Velocity callable "ODataLinksCallable" can be used to create and remove m:n relationships between two OData external data groups.

Creating an m:n relationship 

$ODataLinksCallable.createLink(<Configuration GUID>, <Service GUID>, <Impersonation GUID>, <Source DG GUID>, <Source_Record_ID>, <Target Navigation Property>, <Target DG GUID>, <Target_Record_ID>)

Removing an m:n relationship 

$ODataLinksCallable.deleteLink(<Configuration GUID>, <Service GUID>, <Impersonation GUID>, <Source DG GUID>, <Source_Record_ID>, <Target Navigation Property>, <Target DG GUID>, <Target_Record_ID>)

The following parameters are required:

  • Configuration GUID
