Understanding rolled-up connections

The following example graphic shows how Active Workspace rolls up connections to the appropriate level and displayed as a single line between two systems. The functionality depends on certain business type constants set by your administrator.

Show peers

Your administrator has set business object type constant AseoShowPeerInterfaces to true or has not set the constant.

Based on the example, if you select SD-CPSC1 as the system of interest in the content panel, the Interfaces tab displays a single rolled-up connection to represent connections c2 and c5.

Similarly:

  • SD-CPSC2 as system of interest -> single rolled-up connection representing c2, c5, c6, c7, and c8.
  • SD-CPSC3 as system of interest -> single rolled-up connection representing c6, c7, and c10.
  • SD-CPSC4 as system of interest -> single rolled-up connection representing c1, c4, and c5.
  • SD1 as system of interest -> single rolled-up connection representing c1, c4, and c5.
  • SD4 as system of interest -> single rolled-up connection representing c6, c7, and c8.

Show direct connections

Your administrator has set business object type constant AseoShowPeerInterfaces to false for object types Logical Blocks.

If you select SD1 as the system of interest in the content panel, the Interfaces tab displays direct connections instead of rolled-up peer connections.
