# AddAssociation
<a name="API_AddAssociation"></a>

Creates an *association* between the source and the destination. A source can be associated with multiple destinations, and a destination can be associated with multiple sources. An association is a lineage tracking entity. For more information, see [Amazon SageMaker ML Lineage Tracking](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/lineage-tracking.html).

## Request Syntax
<a name="API_AddAssociation_RequestSyntax"></a>

```
{
   "AssociationType": "string",
   "DestinationArn": "string",
   "SourceArn": "string"
}
```

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_AddAssociation_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [AssociationType](#API_AddAssociation_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="sagemaker-AddAssociation-request-AssociationType"></a>
The type of association. The following are suggested uses for each type. Amazon SageMaker places no restrictions on their use.  
+ ContributedTo - The source contributed to the destination or had a part in enabling the destination. For example, the training data contributed to the training job.
+ AssociatedWith - The source is connected to the destination. For example, an approval workflow is associated with a model deployment.
+ DerivedFrom - The destination is a modification of the source. For example, a digest output of a channel input for a processing job is derived from the original inputs.
+ Produced - The source generated the destination. For example, a training job produced a model artifact.

 ** [SourceArn](#API_AddAssociation_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="sagemaker-AddAssociation-response-SourceArn"></a>
The ARN of the source.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 256.  
Pattern: `arn:aws[a-z\-]*:sagemaker:[a-z0-9\-]*:[0-9]{12}:(experiment|experiment-trial-component|artifact|action|context)/.*`
