Project a connector space object into the metaverse
For this procedure, in Joiner, you can project a disconnector
object in a connector space to create and join a new metaverse
object. By doing this, you enable attribute flow between the
connector space object and the new joined metaverse object. You can
also configure projection rules for a management agent on the
Configure Join and Projection Rules page in Management Agent
Designer. To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as a member of the MIISJoiners security group or the MIISAdmins security group.
To project a connector space object into the
metaverse
On the Tools menu, click Joiner.
In Management Agent, click the management agent that
contains the disconnector object that you want to project to the
metaverse.
In Disconnectors, click one of the following
disconnector types:
To search for all disconnector objects regardless of their
type, click All Disconnectors Types.
To search for disconnector objects that can be joined or
projected by rules, click Disconnectors.
To search for disconnector objects that cannot be joined or
projected by rules, click Explicit Disconnectors.
To search for disconnector objects in the connector space that
contain a set of rules that prevents them from being automatically
projected or joined to corresponding metaverse objects, click
Filtered Disconnectors.
Click Search.
In Disconnectors, click the object that you want to
project to the metaverse.
Click Project.
In Project Type as, click the object type available for
this object.
Click Project.
Notes
When an object is projected to the metaverse, the new metaverse
object is assigned a system-generated globally unique identifier
(GUID).
When projecting a reference object that has been previously
disconnected since the last synchronization, you must run a full or
delta synchronization of the associated management agent so that
the referencing objects can reference that object again. For
example, if object A is a reference object for object
B (referencing object), and object A is disconnected,
object B no longer displays a reference (in object
properties) to object A. If you project object A back
to the metaverse, you must run a full or delta synchronization of
the management agent so that object B can reference object
A again.
