The protocol client sends a BusinessDataCatalogSharedService_GetAssociationsForEntityAndRole_InputMessage request message, and the protocol server MUST respond with a BusinessDataCatalogSharedService_GetAssociationsForEntityAndRole_OutputMessage response message, unless any one of the conditions in the following table is met.

If any one of the conditions in the following table is met, the protocol server MUST instead respond  with a SOAP fault containing the corresponding error complex type, serialized as specified in section 2.2.4. If more than one error condition is encountered, the protocol server MUST return with exactly one error complex type, determined in an implementation-specific manner.
