Transferring connection edits

You can transfer a connection, which you are editing, to another user. The Transfer edit feature is available only when the connection status is work in progress. You can edit a connection only until it is pushed to production deployment.

About this task

You might need to use the Transfer edit feature in the user interface in various scenarios. For example, you check out a connection to edit it, but need another user to complete the edit process. Or, if you are going out on a vacation, and would need some other user to complete the edit process.

Important: Only the owner of a connection can do transfer edit. But with an appropriate user role, you can also transfer the connection edit of one user to another user within the same company. For example, IBM Support can transfer a connection edit from one user to another user within the same company. Or, a company administrator (admin) can transfer a connection that someone else checked out to edit.

Procedure

  1. From the side navigation menu, select Company resources > Connections. Then, on the Connections list page or the Trading partner connections list page, click the Action options menu for the connection edit you want to transfer. Alternatively, from the Connections page, click a Connection name and select Transfer edit from the action ribbon.
    Important: You can do transfer edit for only Private connections within Trading partners.
  2. On the Transfer edit window, use the Transfer edit drop down to search for and select another user within the same company.
  3. In the Reason for transferring the edit field, input your comments.
    Note: It is mandatory to input comments. Unless you input the reason for transferring the edit, Transfer remains unavailable.
  4. Click Transfer.
    The owner of the connection is now changed. To see the details, you can refer to the Owned by column.
