CONNECT Type properties

The following CONNECT Type properties are available:

• Status

  Identifies whether a type definition has unsaved edits.

• Type ID

  Identifies the CONNECT Type (read-only).

  For example, MESMaterialProducedActual (ItemProd), Asset (Ent), MESMaterialClass (ItemClass), etc.

• MES Table Name

  The MES table that is mapped to the Type ID (read only).

• Description

  The description of the type (read-only).

• Curate Frequency (minute)

  The amount of time (in minutes) to wait between subsequent data curations for this type. A value of 0 indicates that curation occurs on demand from the Events to CONNECT agent requests (default).

  Note: A curate frequency of 0 is allowed for all CONNECT Types except Delete.

  The fastest frequency for the curator host is 5 minutes; therefore, values less than 5 will curate every 5 minutes.

• Is Enabled
