Renaming a message flow

You can rename a message flow. You might want to do this if you have modified the message flow to provide a different function and you want the name of the message flow to reflect this new function.

Before you start

To complete this task, you must have completed the following task:

To rename a message flow:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Right-click the message flow that you want to rename (<message_flow_name>.msgflow) in the Broker Development view, and click Rename, or click File > Rename. If you have the message flow selected, you can also press F2. The Rename Resource dialog is displayed.
  3. Type in the new name for the message flow.
  4. Click OK to complete this action, or Cancel to cancel the request. If you click OK, the message flow is renamed.

    After you have renamed the message flow, any references that you have to this message flow (for example, if it is embedded in another message flow) are no longer valid.

  5. You must open the affected message flows and correct the references if you are not sure where you have embedded this message flow.
    1. Click File > Save All The save action saves and validates all resources. Unresolved references are displayed in the Tasks view, and you can click each error listed.

      This opens the message flow that makes a non-valid reference in the editor view

    2. Right click the subflow icon and click Locate Subflow. The Locate Subflow dialog is displayed, listing the available message flow projects.
    3. Expand the list and explore the resources available to locate the required subflow.
    4. Select the correct subflow and click OK. All references in the current message flow are updated for you and the errors removed from the Tasks view.
