Overview

This section describes how to disconnect objects between connected entities in the project network. The Disconnect option is only available for connected entities. Before disconnecting, you must first disconnect all dependent entities that subscribe to the target object's data.

Accessing the Disconnect Screen

You can access the Disconnect screen from both the Interaction View and the Dataflow View:

• Interaction View: The Disconnect option is available only for connected entities. Select the connection line.

• Dataflow View: Select a component node.

Disconnecting from the Interaction View

You cannot disconnect entities directly. First disconnect all dependent entities that subscribe to data from the target object to maintain system integrity.

• Open the Interaction View and bring the entities into the network diagram.
• Select the connection line between the entities.

• Select Disconnect on the Network tab.
• You go to the Disconnect screen for further processing.

View Published Objects and Dependent Entities

The Disconnect screen is divided into two sections:

• Objects and flow directions: Shows the flow direction on a band. One band displays for unidirectional flow; two bands display for bidirectional flow. Select the band to expand it and view the published objects. When you select an object, its dependent entities display in the next section.
• Dependent entities: Lists the dependent entities for the selected object.

Disconnect Objects With Dependent Entities

• Select an object from the left section. The corresponding dependent entities display on the right.
• Note: You can disconnect only one entity at a time. The first entity in the list shows the Disconnect icon; the remaining entities are disabled until one is successfully disconnected.
• Select the Disconnect icon. A Processing icon appears on the band indicating disconnection is in progress.

• After the entity is disconnected, a confirmation message appears on the band. The disconnected entity is removed from the list, and the next entity shows the Disconnect icon.

• Repeat until all dependent entities are disconnected. A confirmation message appears when all are disconnected.

• Select Disconnect {object name} to disconnect the object.

• After you select Disconnect {object name}, the object is disconnected and removed from the screen. A confirmation message appears.

• Repeat for all remaining objects.

• Select Back to return to the previous screen.

Disconnect Objects Without Dependent Entities

• Select an object from the left section. If no dependent entities exist, the right side shows the Disconnect {object name} button.
• Select Disconnect {object name}.

• The object is disconnected and removed from the screen. A confirmation message appears.

• Repeat for all remaining objects.

• Select Back to return to the previous screen.

Disconnecting from the Dataflow View

You cannot disconnect a component directly. First disconnect all dependent entities that subscribe to the component's data.

• Open the Dataflow View and select the component node you want to disconnect.
• Select Disconnect on the Network tab. You go to the Disconnect screen.

• Refer to the Disconnect Objects With Dependent Entities or Disconnect Objects Without Dependent Entities sections above for further steps.
