Modifying Document Type Properties
Using My webMethods, you can modify the following document type properties:
*Document type description
*Time to live value
*Validation level
Changing the time to live for a document type using My webMethods can cause the document type on the Broker to become unsynchronized with the document type on the client application. For complete information, see Time to Live.
Note:
You cannot edit system-defined document types.
Note:
For information about adding and modifying JMS topics as document types, see JMS Messages.
*To modify document type properties
1. In My webMethods: Messaging > Broker Server s > Document Types.
2. In the Document Type List, click the document type that you want to modify. If the document type does not appear in the list, use the Search tab to locate it.
3. On the Document Type Details page, make sure the Configuration tab is selected.

Description
A brief description of the document type.
Time to Live
The number of seconds that instances of this document type remain valid on the Broker. After the time to live elapses, the document expires and Broker discards it. If you do not want instances of this document type to expire, enter 0.
For complete information about the time to live property, see Time to Live".
Note:
Increasing or decreasing the time to live does not have an immediate effect on documents already in the client queues.
Validation
The type of validation that you want the Broker to perform for instances of this document type. Select one of the following:
*Full. The document can contain fields declared in the document type only. If the document contains fields that are not declared in the document type, Broker considers the document to be invalid. This is the default.
*Open. The document can contain fields that are not declared in the document type. Fields that are defined in the document type must match the restrictions defined in the document type. Fields not defined in the document type can exist in the published document, but these undefined fields will not be type validated.
*None. Broker should not validate instances of this document type.
For more information, see Document Type Validation.
