Example

The following sample illustrates how relationship types are defined within a management pack. All of the relationship types implement System.Hosting as a base class, thus specifying a hosting relationship between the Source and the Target classes.

System.Hosting is defined in the external System.Library management pack using the Alias!ElementID notation. For more information about how to reference an external management pack by using the Alias!ElementID notation, see Reference (Manifest).
