I am using “Element Connections” to copy parameters from a polled equipment to a virtual equipment. This is working fine.
I have recently changed the parameter id’s for a couple of parameters on that virtual element and although the new ones are working I don’t know how to remove the old id’s.
They currently show as "Unknown_202" & "Unknown_203" on the element connections display.
Hi Mark
Changing parameter IDs is something you should actually prevent as much as possible.
Anyway, the Cube UI will keep on saving those unlinked IDs under the assumption that the element/parameter is temporary unavailable (due to whatever reason) and that you don't want to lose those connections.
The easiest way to remove them is to change the id's back to the original ones, then unlink the element connections for the parameters you want to change via the Cube UI, and then eventually change the ids back and reconfigure the element connections. I would not mess with the files where the element connections are being stored (c:\Skyline DataMiner\Elements) as these are per Agent (based on the source element) and in a cluster this can get complicated.
Hope this helps.
