Deactivating and activating participants
In Relationship Manager, a participant instance can be deactivated, or made inactive.
Deactivating a participant instance removes it from the relationship instance
and prevents it from displaying in the Relationship Manager window, but its
record remains in the relationship table so it can be re-activated in the
future.
Deactivating a participant
Perform the following steps to deactivate a participant instance:
- Start Relationship Manager and make sure it is connected to a server. Follow the instructions in Starting Relationship Manager and Connecting Relationship Manager to a InterChange Server Express.
- Right-click the participant instance
you want to deactivate and select Deactivate Participant.
The participant is removed from the Relationship Manager
display but not from the relationship tables.
Activating a participant
Perform the following steps to activate a participant instance:
- Start Relationship Manager and make sure it is connected to a server. Follow the instructions in Starting Relationship Manager and Connecting Relationship Manager to a InterChange Server Express.
- Click View > Show Deactivated Participants
The Deactivated Participants window appears as shown below:

- Select the relationship instance that contains the deactivated participant
you want to activate from the list.
- Expand the relationship instance until the deactivated participant instances appear in the list.
- Right-click the participant instance that you want to reactivate and select Activate.
- Click Edit > Refresh.
The activated participant instance appears in its relationship instance in
the Relationship Manager window.
- Note:
- If a participant instance in an identity relationship is deactivated and
another participant is added in its place (that is, assigned the same instance
ID), the original participant is removed from the Deactivated Participants
listing, but remains in the database.
