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.
A few business scenarios where the output from one enterprise service discovery flow can be reused in successive flows, are outlined as follows:
- When you want to add a new object to the object set.
- When you want to modify configurations on selected objects like changes to operations, operation names, and service level settings like security, transactions, and reliability.
- When you want to remove a discovered object from the object set.
- When you want to rediscover existing objects in the service to synchronize the service if the objects in the back-end system have been updated.
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.
- In the assembly editor, select the component you want to modify, right-click, and select Edit Binding.
- In the Business Integration view, select the component you want to modify, right-click, and select Edit Binding.
- Select the component in the assembly editor and select the Properties view. In the Binding tab, click the Edit link.
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.
- Modify service import
Modify an import component by rediscovering and reconfiguring the objects using the Edit Binding option in IBM Integration Designer.- Modify service export
Modify an export component by rediscovering and reconfiguring the objects using the Edit Binding option in IBM Integration Designer.
