<Link>

Each <Step> element can have one <Link> element as a child, which makes the step a child of another step. The link can be used to make the step’s node in the XML output a child of the parent’s node, or to drill down to a child object.

This table describes each attribute of the <Link> element.

StepIdID of the parent step.
ParentPropertyProperty used to drill down to a related business object.
TargetBusinessObjectMoniker of the business object you want to drill down to. Requires a LoadId attribute if used.
LoadIdUsed with the TargetBusinessObject attribute to specify the value to use to select records. You can use a variable defined in a previous step by enclosing the variable name in curly brackets.
TargetPropertyBy default, the export processor selects records from the target business object where the primary key matches this value. If you include a TargetProperty attribute, the export processor will use that property instead.
