Removing a message flow node

When you have created and populated a message flow, you might need to remove a node to change the function of the flow, or to replace it with another more appropriate node. The node can be a built-in node, a user-defined node, or a subflow node.

Before you start:

To remove a node:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Open the message flow that you want to work with.
  3. Select the node in the editor view and press the Delete key.
  4. Highlight the node and click Edit > Delete

    You can also right-click the node in the editor view and click Delete, or right-click the node in the Outline view and click Delete.

    The editor removes the node. If you have created any connections between that node and any other node, those connections are also deleted when you delete the node.
  5. If you delete a node in error, you can restore it by right-clicking in the editor view and clicking Undo Delete. The node and its connections, if any, are restored.
  6. You can also click Edit > Undo Delete or press Ctrl+Z.

  7. If you undo the delete, but decide it is the correct delete action, you can right-click in the editor view and click Redo Delete.

    You can also click Edit > Redo Delete.
