Recommendations for using the im refmode command with the --refmode and --shareID options
Using the --shareID option may cause indirect cyclic relations on Shares/Shared By relationship fields. For example, consider nodes 1, 2, 3 and 4, in which, node 1 is in Author reference mode and nodes 2, 3, and 4 are created by copying node 1 in Reuse reference mode. Improper usage of --shareID value in the im refmode--refmode=share command may result in cyclic relations, such as node 2 Shares node 3, node 3 Shares node 4, and node 4 in turn Shares node 2, which is a cyclic relation.
To avoid cyclic relationships, you must consider the following recommendations while specifying a value for the --shareID option:
• It is recommended to use the --useDefault option instead of using the --shareID option.
• Do not use any item as shareID that is already in the Share reference mode.
• Try to restrict shareID to the Author reference mode item only.
• If Reuse reference mode item is used as shareID, avoid toggling reference mode of that item to Share.
