CausalLinkage Structure

Use the CausalLinkage structure to describe a single causal linkage.

The CausalLinkage structure is used in the unresolvable-reference.html.

CausalLinkage Structure Fields

Fields	Description
String ID	Specifies the GUID of this causal linkage.
String causeNodeID	Specifies the GUID of the strategy or initiative node at the cause end of the link.
String effectNodeID	Specifies the GUID of the strategy or initiative node at the "effect" end of the link.
String Strength	Specifies the strength of the relationship. Defined using one of the values in the Strength Enumeration.
String Interaction	Specifies the proportionality of the relationship. Defined using one of the statics in the Interaction Enumeration.
String Operation	Specifies what you want to do with the specified CausalLinkage. Can be one of the values ADD, UPDATE or DELETE.

The Strength enumeration describes values of the various supported link strengths.

The Strength enumeration is used in the CausalLinkage Structure.

Strength Enumeration Values

Values	Description
String STRONG	Used to identify strong relationships.
String MIDDLE	Used to identify normal relationships.
String WEAK	Used to identify weak relationships.

The Interaction enumeration describes values of the various supported link strengths.

The Interaction enumeration is used in the CausalLinkage Structure.

Interaction Enumeration Values

Values	Description
String POSITIVE	Used to identify directly proportional relationships.
String NEGATIVE	Used to identify inversely proportional relationships.

The Operation enumeration describes values of the operation.

The Operation enumeration is used in the CausalLinkage Structure.

Operation Enumeration Values

Values	Description
String ADD	Used to identify the operation to apply.
String UPDATE	Used to identify the operation to apply.
String DELETE	Used to identify the operation to apply.
