Perform Adoption or Unadoption › Adoption Examples › Example 1

Example 1

In the first adoption example, Model 1 is the Related Model, and Model 2 is the Adoptee Model (in another family).

Results: Before the adoption, the Original Object ID of Entity Type Client is 11 in Model 1 and 21 in Model 2. Because the object type and names match, the Original Object ID in Model 2 is changed to 11. Now the objects have common ancestry.

Note: The entity types have both an Object ID and Original Object ID and that the Object ID did not change for either.

The Attribute Client Name is also successfully adopted. This could not have occurred if the parent object, Entity Type Client, had not been adopted.

Because the Name properties of Attributes Client Number and Client Num are not the same, the Original Object ID (23) of Client Num remains unchanged after the Adoption.
