RelationshipDef Class
When you define an information model in a repository, you define classes of objects, types of relationships that can exist between objects, and various properties that are attached to these object classes and relationship types. The relationship types that you define in your tool information model are represented by instances of the RelationshipDef class.
When to Use
Use the RelationshipDef class to access the properties of a relationship definition (also referred to as a relationship type).
To insert a new relationship type into an information model, use the ReposTypeLib class.
