Parameters

checkSourceMaxConnections

Type: SystemBoolean
If , check the source port to determine if the maximum number of connections will be exceeded. If , this check will not be performed. You would not want to perform this check if you are attempting to check if the destination could be changed to a different port before removing the current connection. Normally this parameter should be set to .

checkDestinationMaxConnections

Type: SystemBoolean
If , check the destination port to determine if the maximum number of connections will be exceeded. If , this check will not be performed. You would not want to perform this check if you are attempting to check if the source could be changed to a different port before removing the current connection. Normally this parameter should be set to .

sourcePort

Type: OSIsoft.AF.ModelingAFPort
The source AFPort object of the connection. The port type must be either Output or Undirected. The port must be from an AFBaseElement, it cannot be from an AFElementTemplate.

destinationPort

Type: OSIsoft.AF.ModelingAFPort
The destination AFPort object of the connection. The port type must be either Input or Undirected. The port must be from an AFBaseElement, it cannot be from an AFElementTemplate.

errMsg

Type: SystemString
The returned error message if the connection is invalid.

Return Value

AFSDK
