Editing a routing channel template

About this task

You should only edit routing channel templates during a time of no activity, such as a maintenance window. You can disable routing for maintenance by disabling the routing rule (FileGatewayRoutingRule) or by disabling the routing schedules (MailboxEvaluateAllAutomaticRules and MailboxEvaluateAllAutomaticRulesSubMin.)

There are some constraints for editing routing channel templates:
  • You cannot edit a template currently in use by a routing channel.
  • You cannot change the name of the template you are editing.
  • You cannot edit templates with names prefixed with AFT, FG, or FileGateway.

Integration Architects can edit routing channel templates within these constraints.

To edit a routing channel template:

Procedure

  1. From the main menu, select Routes > Templates.
  2. Select one of the listed routing channel templates. To select from the lists, type characters and Enter in the box to narrow the list to items containing these characters. Scroll to select an item from the list. Backspace to remove the characters and Enter to return to the full list.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. If the selected template does not have any dependent routing channels, the edit template wizard opens.
  5. Make the desired changes to the template.
  6. Click Save.
    Restriction: When a template is edited, the original instance of the template is no longer available and attempts to link to the template instance from event details will result in an error message.
