What is the difference between Signal and Object Links?

What is the difference between Signal and Object Links?

Hi, i am investigating how to best create network graphs for a BOM and I came across the Signal Link and Object Link. I already have a basic BOM using Signal Link but as i want to use the LINK_PATH operator i now need to switch the BOM to Object Links.

I'm having trouble in understanding the difference between the two and what are the pros/cons of one or the other.

Does anyone have experience using the Signals, and can expand on the differences?

Thanks in advance for your insights.

Hi, we internally renamed Signal Link to be called Object Link, since we provide more capabilities to not only be able to create the graph using signals, but also by defining a mapping table that contains the links directly. Additionally it allows also to create direct object to object (or case to case) relationships without the need for activites. We still kept the term Signal Link to refer to the old way of configuring, which is basically creating Object Link by connecting activities.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the explanation Magdalena.

We have now moved to Object Link to use the LINK_PATH operator. Currently getting to grips with it.

Do you know if there are any examples (like the bakery example) with a step by step explanation of how to set the Network Explorer graph?
