When a link relationship is created, there are two options for the Link Type:
- Use Join Condition: One or more pairs of attributes are used to link the repositories.
- Manually choose records: This option is deprecated. Do not use this option.
If Manually choose records is selected, a variety of errors can occur, including:
- Linked Tables may not load or expand.
- In a Repository View, if the Hierarchy button is clicked, the Hierarchy/Taxonomy Manager will appear, but it may get stuck in the loading state and fail to list the existing hierarchies and taxonomy.
- Users may be unable to create a linked preference.
- In the log:
<drive>:\Enterworks\logs\EnableServer\enable_webMaster_<service-id>.logthe following error may appear, or the error may appear as a server error:
EPIMLogger.severe - getRepositoryLinkRelationshipList EXCEPTION: user=<user-name> userId=<user-id> link=<name-of-link> linkId=<link-id> repoId=<repository-id>org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: com.enterworks.epim.shared.model.BlinkRelationship.blinkJoinConditions, could not initialize proxy - no Session
If an existing link is configured with Manually choose records, the link must be deleted and recreated to use a join condition.
