<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Using UDM, I can query for “Connection” objects and get the pair of objects at either end from that “Connection” object using a provided API. However, I have not found a simple approach to finding the “AssociationRole” object that connects
all three objects. I have figured out a way to get the role by enumerating and comparing ids but is there a better or preferred way?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
