Inactivate a CI Relationship Using GRLoader

You can Inactivate a CI relationship by using GRLoader to submit XML.

To Inactivate a relationship using GRLoader

1. Write XML that uses a Relation tag to identify the following:
   • Provider CI
   • Dependent CI
   • Relationship type
2. Set the delete_flag to true (or yes or 1).
3. Submit the XML.

   The CI Relationship is deleted.

Note: For more information about GRLoader, see the CA CMDB Technical Reference Guide.
