Defining Compatibility Matrices for Connections

Preferences lets you create compatibility matrices to be used to allow heterogeneous connections.

These matrices are used to verify if a connection creation is allowed. If no compatibility rule is defined in any matrix, the default policy applies.


Before you begin: The user must have created functional flows, software interfaces, or hardware ports.
