Editing a Messaging Connection Alias
You can edit the properties of any messaging connection alias that you create or some of the default messaging connection aliases created by Integration Server. Keep the following points in mind before editing a messaging connection alias:
You can edit any properties of an existing messaging connection alias with the exception of the connection alias name.
You must disable a messaging connection alias before you can edit it. If the alias is not disabled, the Edit
messagingConnectionAlias name link will not be hyper-linked.
For the IS_DES_CONNECTION alias, you can edit the description and client prefix only. If the
Integration Server is part of a cluster (stateless or stateful), the client prefix for the IS_DES_CONNECTION connection alias needs to be the same on each
Integration Server.
You cannot edit the IS_LOCAL_CONNECTION alias.
To edit a messaging connection alias
1. Open the Integration Server Administrator.
2. In the Settings menu of the Navigation panel, click Messaging
3. Under webMethods Messaging Configuration, click webMethods Messaging Settings.
4. In the webMethods Connection Alias Definitions table, click the name of the messaging connection alias that you want to edit.
5. Do one of the following depending on whether you are editing a Broker connection alias, Universal Messaging, or Digital Event Services connection alias:
Click
Edit Broker Messaging Connection Alias.
Click
Edit Universal Messaging Connection Alias.
Click
Edit Digital Event Services Connection Alias.
Note: If the Edit messagingConnectionAliasType link appears but is not available, that is, it is not hyper-linked, the messaging connection alias might not be disabled. You can only edit a disabled messaging connection alias.
6. Update the information for the messaging connection alias.
7. Click Save Changes.
9. If this is a Broker connection alias, you must restart Integration Server for your changes to take effect.
10. If this is a Universal Messaging connection alias used for writing or reading logging entries to a Universal Messaging queue, you must restart Integration Server for changes to take effect.
Notes:
If you changed a
Broker connection alias to connect to
Broker in another territory, you might need to synchronize your publishable document types with the new
Broker. For information about synchronizing publishable document types, see
webMethods Service Development Help.
If you change the client prefix of a
Universal Messaging connection alias for which the
Enable Request/Reply Channel and Listener check box is selected,
Universal Messaging creates a new request/reply channel with the new client prefix. However,
Universal Messaging does not delete the previous request/reply channel for the
Universal Messaging connection alias. Use
Universal Messaging Enterprise Manager to delete the old channel.
If you edit a
Universal Messaging connection alias by clearing the
Enable Request/Reply Channel and Listener check box is selected, the request/reply channel for
Universal Messaging connection alias remains on the
Universal Messaging server. If you want to delete the channel, use
Universal Messaging Enterprise Manager to delete the channel.
For a
Universal Messaging connection alias used by loggers to write log entries to or read log entries from a
Universal Messaging queue, the state of the
Client Prefix Is Shared check box determines whether or not the client prefix of the alias is included in the
Universal Messaging queue name. If you edit a
Universal Messaging connection alias by selecting or clearing the
Client Prefix Is Shared check box and the alias is used by loggers, you must restart
Integration Server for changes to the queue name to take effect. Additionally, you must make the same changes to other
Integration Servers in the cluster or non-clustered group of
Integration Servers that use the alias.
