Auto forwarded by a Rule

Thanks Endre, 
I traced thru the CreateNewConnection function, and what I could tell was that a call to CreateCollection (which is a function on the IFCO interface) was not doing what it should have done, even though the result reported was success. I could not quite figure out how else to create such a collection. I looked in your code and saw that you use "CreateInstance" function, however there is no such function for the CComPtr class which BON uses.

Anyhow for the time-being I fixed my problem by using instances, instead of references, since no brave GME soul responded till yet.

Thanks
Sandeep

I had this problem with UDM,I think the connection itself is between 
atoms/models and when setting up the connection you have to provide the 
list of reference ports, through the connection is established.

I have the following code snipplet in UDM:

IMgaSimpleConnectionPtr conn;	//the connection
IMgaFCOsPtr src_references;		//the list of references through the 
connecting source
IMgaFCOsPtr dst_references;		//the list of references through the 
connecting destination

COMTHROW(conn->SetSrc(src_references, self));
COMTHROW(conn->SetDst(dst_references, self));


This is not BON code, but that should be similar.


Hope this helps,
Endre
