Notes for Callers

Use this helper function after you create a new relationship. This message is provided as a productivity enhancement so that you do not have to manually add all attribute mappings. Instead, you can generate a set of likely mappings and minimize the amount of manual work to add or remove individual mappings to meet your requirements. This message will map all the attributes between the two related entities where the attribute names are identical and the types are identical. The mapping may result in some mappings that you do not want; therefore, you should always check the resulting mapping before you publish the customization.
