How to link the I$SDD_FOLDERS ,, i$RM_TEXT_LINES these tow tables.

Question

Hi In my application i have some containers. So the containers are in the table I$SDD_FOLDERS.
Under that containers there are so many business rules are there. So that rules are in the table i$RM_TEXT_LINES .
Now i need to extract all the rules.
say for example in a folder there will be the topic but the topic description will be in the second table. So how can i map the topic in first table and the description ion the second table.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You have defined the business rules in the properties 'Description' and 'Notes' of the object 'Business Function'?
To retrieve all these properties for one container, you can use the following query. Note that the views sdd_folders and rm_text_lines are joined by the views sdd_folder_members and sdd_object_versions. So, for a container 'container_name' you should verify what Business Functions (logical type id = 5024 in sdd_object_versions) exist in this container. Then, you can retrieve the properties 'Description' and 'Notes' by using the join between rm_text_lines and sdd_object_versions. (txt_type = 'CDIDSC' or 'CDINOT')
select f.name
, sov.name
, sov.logical_type_id
, rl.*
from rm_text_lines rl
, sdd_object_versions sov
, sdd_folder_members fm
, sdd_folders f
WHERE sov.irid = fm.member_object
AND fm.parent_ivid = f.ivid
AND sov.logical_type_id = 5024
AND rl.parent_ivid= sov.ivid
AND f.name = &container_name
Is this what you are looking for?
