Metadata Manager shows the resources and objects that have class-level relationships to objects in the custom resource. Metadata Manager also displays the parent objects of the metadata objects. Metadata Manager displays the parent objects even if they do not have class-level relationships with the objects in the custom resource.

The Object Relationships Wizard may show relationships between objects with different parent names even though you include objects where the parent and child metadata object properties match.

For example, you create a relationship between a column object named SALARY in a custom resource and a column object named SALARY in an Oracle resource. You can create relationships between a synonym with a parent name of SALARY_DETAILS_SYNONYM and an Oracle table with a parent name of SALARY_DETAILS. SALARY_DETAILS_SYNONYM is a reference to SALARY_DETAILS. The Object Relationships Wizard includes both relationships for the column SALARY.
