Viewing Document Type Configuration Information
For each document type that exists, Broker maintains configuration information specified at the time the document type was created. Broker also maintains statistics for the document type, such as the number of subscriptions to the document type and the total number of published instances of the document type.
You can use My webMethods to modify the description, time to live, and validation level for a document type. For more information about modifying these properties, see Modifying Document Type Properties.
*To view document type configuration information
1. In My webMethods: Messaging > Broker Server s > Document Types.
2. In the Document Type List, click the document type for which you want to view configuration information. If the document type does not appear in the list, use the Search tab to locate it.

Time to Live (seconds)

For more information about time to live, see Time to Live". For more information about modifying document properties, see Modifying Document Type Properties.
Validation
The document type validation level that Broker performs when it receives instances of this document type. The validation level can be one of the following:
*Full. Broker considers the document valid if all the fields in the document are declared in the document type and all the fields match the document type definition.
Broker considers the document invalid if it contains fields that are not declared in the document type.
This is the strictest form of validation.
*Open. Broker considers the document valid if the fields declared in the document type match the document type definition. Broker allows the document to contain fields that are not declared in the document type. Broker does not validate these fields.
*None. Broker does not perform validation for instances of this document type.
For information about validation, see Document Type Validation. For more information about modifying document properties, see Modifying Document Type Properties.
