    Result: Mediation Engine node is added

    Note:

If there are users and realms on the Mediation Engine that do not exist on the Mediation Engine Connector, these will be lost.

    Result: Mediation Engine connects with the Mediation Engine Connector.

    Note:

    By this procedure, the Mediation Engine and the Mediation Engine Connector are disconnected so the Mediation Engine will be on its own when it comes to information, it can use at that time. No other implications are known.
