# createRelationships(forDestination:in:manager:)

Constructs the relationships between the newly-created destination instances.

## Declaration

```swift
func createRelationships(forDestination dInstance: NSManagedObject, in mapping: NSEntityMapping, manager: NSMigrationManager) throws
```

## Parameters

- `dInstance`: The destination instance for which to create relationships.
- `mapping`: The mapping object in use.
- `manager`: The migration manager performing the migration.

## Discussion

Discussion You can use this stage to (re)create relationships between migrated objects—you use the association lookup methods on the NSMigrationManager instance to determine the appropriate relationship targets.
