Often business requirements mandate changes to the backend
enterprise information system (EIS) data structures. These changes
call for regeneration and reconfiguration of artifacts (import and
export) that were previously generated using the external service wizard.
A few business scenarios where the output from one
enterprise service discovery flow can be reused in successive flows,
are outlined as follows:
- When you want to add a new object to the object set.
- When you want to modify configurations on selected objects like
changes to operations, operation names, and service level settings
like security, transactions, and reliability.
- When you want to remove a discovered object from the object set.
- When you want to rediscover existing objects in the service to
synchronize the service if the objects in the back-end system have
been updated.
To modify existing artifacts, you can invoke the wizard in one
of the following ways. The
external service wizard is
initialized with previously configured settings.
- In the assembly editor, select the component you want to modify,
right-click, and select Edit Binding.
- In the Business Integration view, select the component you want
to modify, right-click, and select Edit Binding.
- Select the component in the assembly editor and select the Properties
view. In the Binding tab, click the Edit link.
Note: The Edit Binding option
is available for artifacts generated using IBM® Integration Designer 7.0
only. If you are importing a project interchange from an earlier version
of IBM Integration Designer,
the Edit Binding option
is not available. If you have made any manual changes to the configuration,
running the wizard again will overwrite these changes.
