Removing a node

Use the IBM Integration API when developing message flow applications to remove a node from a message flow.

To remove a node, you must first get the required node from the message flow object. In the following example, the getNodeByName() method is used to get the required node from message flow object mf1. The node is then removed by using the removeNode() method. When a node is removed, any connections to or from the node are also removed.

File msgFlow = new File("main.msgflow");
MessageFlow mf1 = FlowRendererMSGFLOW.read(msgFlow);
Node mqinNode = mf1.getNodeByName("My Input Node");
mf1.removeNode(mqinNode);

Pattern authoring

The following example is the same as the previous, but for pattern authoring:

MessageFlow mf1 = patternInstanceManager.getMessageFlow("MyFlowProject", "main.msgflow");
Node mqinNode = mf1.getNodeByName("My Input Node");
mf1.removeNode(mqinNode);
