Symptom
You have created two custom MDF objects - cust_ParentObject and cust_ChildObject.
Object cust_ParentObject has one to many associations with object cust_ChildObject.
When you try to access the association between these objects using below OData API query, the association (there is no link for child object) does not appear in the OData API response.

If you access the child object directly, then API response contains a NotFoundException
https://apisalesdemo2.successfactors.eu/odata/v2/cust_ChildObject?$format=json
API Response
{"error" : {
"code" : "NotFoundException", "message" : {
"lang" : "en-US", "value" : "Entity cust_ChildObject is not found. Please check the entity in Admin Center > OData API Data Dictionary or contact your system administrator."
