### RelationNotification

public RelationNotification(String notifType, Object sourceObj, long sequence, long timeStamp, String message, String id, String typeName, ObjectName objectName, List<ObjectName> unregMBeanList) throws IllegalArgumentException
Creates a notification for either a relation creation (RelationSupport object created internally in the Relation Service, or an MBean added as a relation) or for a relation removal from the Relation Service.

Parameters:
  `notifType` - type of the notification; either:

  - RELATION_BASIC_CREATION

  - RELATION_MBEAN_CREATION

  - RELATION_BASIC_REMOVAL

  - RELATION_MBEAN_REMOVAL

  `sourceObj` - source object, sending the notification. This is either an ObjectName or a RelationService object. In the latter case it must be the MBean emitting the notification; the MBean Server will rewrite the source to be the ObjectName under which that MBean is registered.
  `sequence` - sequence number to identify the notification
  `timeStamp` - time stamp
  `message` - human-readable message describing the notification
  `id` - relation id identifying the relation in the Relation Service
  `typeName` - name of the relation type
  `objectName` - ObjectName of the relation object if it is an MBean (null for relations internally handled by the Relation Service)
  `unregMBeanList` - list of ObjectNames of referenced MBeans expected to be unregistered due to relation removal (only for removal, due to CIM qualifiers, can be null)
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if:

  - no value for the notification type

  - the notification type is not RELATION_BASIC_CREATION, RELATION_MBEAN_CREATION, RELATION_BASIC_REMOVAL or RELATION_MBEAN_REMOVAL

  - no source object

  - the source object is not a Relation Service

  - no relation id

  - no relation type name

### RelationNotification

Parameters:
  `notifType` - type of the notification; either:

  - RELATION_BASIC_UPDATE

  - RELATION_MBEAN_UPDATE

  `sourceObj` - source object, sending the notification. This is either an ObjectName or a RelationService object. In the latter case it must be the MBean emitting the notification; the MBean Server will rewrite the source to be the ObjectName under which that MBean is registered.
  `sequence` - sequence number to identify the notification
  `timeStamp` - time stamp
  `message` - human-readable message describing the notification
  `id` - relation id identifying the relation in the Relation Service
  `typeName` - name of the relation type
  `objectName` - ObjectName of the relation object if it is an MBean (null for relations internally handled by the Relation Service)
  `name` - name of the updated role
  `newValue` - new role value (List of ObjectName objects)
  `oldValue` - old role value (List of ObjectName objects)
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if null parameter
