Parameters

Remarks

The association provided as an input to this method must be either a Disassociator or it must be contained by an AssociationGroup that contains a Disassociator. This method requires an external item for every source external content type of the Disassociator, and an external instance for the destination external content type of the Disassociator.

This method is supported only for Associations that are not based on foreign keys.

Instances of objects in the Business Data Connectivity object model are tied to the Metadata Store they are obtained from. Using instances tied to one Metadata Store with the instances from another Metadata Store will cause data corruption and other unexpected behavior. For more information, see DatabaseBackedMetadataCatalog, FileBackedMetadataCatalog, and RemoteSharedFileBackedMetadataCatalog.
