Identifier Migration along Relationships

Migrations are made instantaneously in an LDM or during generation if you generate a PDM from a CDM.

Relationship type Migration
Dependent one-to-many Foreign identifiers become attributes of the primary identifier of the child entity.
Many-to-many No attributes are migrated.
Dominant one-to-one Primary identifier migrate from the dominant attribute.
Mandatory one-to-many If the child to parent role is mandatory, migrated attributes are mandatory.
