Query in Distribution Model creation

Question

Hello All,
we are trying to build a distribution logic based on the below criteria
first data object has the following node structure
DO1
  node1
    childnode1
       -field1
       -field2
    childnode2
       -field1
       -field2
the second data object has the following structure
DO2
  node1
     -field1
     -field2
     -field3
from the above data object i need to send data for the second data object DO2 based on the childnode1 and childnode2 value in DO1, can any one give a solution like how to create dependencies and create a DM.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkatesh R

Answer 1

I understand this: You have a rule on DO1 (which works fine and distributes DO1 instances correctly) and dependencieso n DO2 (which are not distributing DO2 instances for some reason).
Now your model is something like this:
Each of the 4 child nodes in DO1 has a partial association to the DO2s root (the missed key field is Language).
For each of these associations, there is one dependency which will map to a list of instances of DO2 for all languages, corresponding to each DO1 instance. Now you want to prune this list and only send the instance of DO2 for the device's language.
NOW: If you created the dependency after activating the rule on DO1 then the dependency and its rules will not work right away. You need to deactivate the rule on DO1 and activate it again.
What you need to do:
1. Deactivate the Rule on DO1.
2. Activate the rule on DO1 again.
Hopefully, that should fix it.
By the way, the correct way to distribute language specific data for anything is not via another data object, but via a child node.
Lets say, you have some data (which is language independent) and text corresponding to that data (which is language specific). The way you should ideally do it is:
1. Create a node as a child to the node containing the language independent data. Put the language specific data in this node (all languages)
2. Create an Extract association from the parent node to the child node, within the data object.
3. Use this Extract association to create an extract rule in the Distribution Model. The DOE will then pick the correct language data for each device and send only the child instances that correspond to the language of the device.
