Modify artifacts

Often business requirements mandate changes to the backend enterprise information system (EIS) data structures. These changes call for regeneration and reconfiguration of artifacts (import and export) that were previously generated using the external service wizard.

To modify existing artifacts, you can invoke the wizard in one of the following ways. The external service wizard is initialized with previously configured settings.

The Edit Binding option is available for artifacts generated using IBM Integration Designer 7.0 only. If you are importing a project interchange from an earlier version of IBM Integration Designer, the Edit Binding option is not available. If you have made any manual changes to the configuration, running the wizard again will overwrite these changes.
