Changing Connector Types

[mehmeteraymuslu]

Hello,

Can I change connector types from DB directly "t_connector" tables "connector_type" column? Does this value effects another table? Does anyone know that? Or would it be better if i use scripting to connector types?

I think it's pretty safe to change the connector type field, as long as you stick to one of the allowed types.

Just be careful for
- connector types with subtype (Ntype?)
- connectors with stereotypes that might not be valid anymore with the new connector type.

I just rechecked and realized that  I need to change not connector types.

I am planning to change from "t_connector" table below values:

• btm_mid_label
• stereotype
• destisnavigable
• target2

Are you still suggesting to change?

In that case I would definitely go through the API.

(One of the reasons is the navigability. There is also a Direction field that should change together with the isNavigable fields, another is the stereotype that is also stored in t_xref)
