AliasOptions
Summary Specifies how network variable aliases should be used in the
connection.
OpenLNS determines how it will use aliasing for a network
variable in a connection when the network variable is added
to the connection. As a result, changing the value of this
property in the ConnectDescTemplate object being used by a
connection will not affect the status of network variables that
have already been added to the connection. It will only affect
how aliasing will be used for network variables that are
added to the connection after the AliasOptions property has
been modified.
If you need to change the aliasing options for network
variables that have already been added to a connection, it
will be necessary to re-build the connection. You can do this
following these steps:
1. Call the Disconnect method on the connection’s hub
network variable.
2. Set the property of the hub network variable to the
desired value.
3. Add the target network variables back to the connection
with the AddTarget method.
4. Call the Connect method on the hub network variable.
