Examples

VBScript

originalID = GetDisplayName
If HasDuplicates Then
   duplicateLinkList = GetDuplicates

   ' Output the IDs of the parent/child records
   For Each duplicateLink In duplicateLinkList 
      duplicateObj = duplicateLink.GetChildEntity 
      duplicateID = duplicateObj.GetDisplayName 
      OutputDebugString "Parent ID:" & originalID & _ 
            " child Id:" & duplicateID 
   Next 
End if

Perl

$originalID = $entity->GetDisplayName();

if ($entity->HasDuplicates())

 {

$session = $entity->GetSession();

$duplicateLinkList = $entity->GetDuplicates();

$cnt = $duplicateLinkList->Count();

 # Output the IDs of the parent/child records

for ($i = 0; $i<$cnt; $i++) 

{

   $itm = $duplicateLinkList->Item($i);

  $duplicateObj = $itm->GetChildEntity();

  $duplicateID = $duplicateObj->GetDisplayName();

  $session->OutputDebugString("Parent ID:".$originalID." child
       Id:"$duplicateID);

  }
