Fiber Manager Configuration Guide
Create Schema Step 6: Relationships

Resource Center Home

The following relationships and autoupdaters are necessary as they allow users to create related objects to features in the map.

Add Relationship to Geodatabase:

  1. Right-click the geodatabase and select New > Relationship Class.
  2. Type a name for the relationship. Click Next.
  3. Specify the relationship type. Click Next.
  4. Provide a label for each direction of the relationship. Select the None radio button, as no fiber relationships propagate messages. Click Next.
  5. Select a cardinality for the relationship. Click Next.
  6. All fiber relationships are non-attributed. Select No and click Next.
  7. Select the primary and foreign keys, then click Next.
  8. Review the summary and click Finish.

Autoupdaters

Additionally, relationship autoupdaters must be assigned or Fiber Manager will not work properly. The ArcFM Update Fiber Parent Field autoupdater uses the information stored in the ThisFiberClassModelName and the FiberParentClassModelName fields to determine the GlobalID that needs to be placed in the FiberParent field. This field is used as the foreign key for the relationship between parent and child objects, and is critical to the success of your Fiber Manager implementation.

All of the tables listed below must have this autoupdater assigned:

On Relationship Created: ArcFM Update Fiber Parent Field

Add Autoupdater to Relationship

  1. Right-click the relationship name and select ArcFM Properties Manager.
  2. Select a value from the drop-down list in the field to the right of the relationship property.
  3. If you are creating more than one autoupdater on this screen, click Apply after adding each one.
  4. Click OK.
