Editing and regenerating a pattern

You can regenerate a pattern instance after you have edited a saved configuration in a pattern instance project.

1. Open an existing pattern configuration by double-clicking the configuration XML file in a pattern instance project.
   The Configure Pattern Parameters page of the editor displays parameter values for that configuration instance. The Integration node navigation pane is in focus. The title of the Configure Pattern Parameters page for the parameter reflects the pattern instance name (not the pattern name).
2. View and edit the pattern parameters. You can now choose either of the following options:
   • Close the editor without saving the changes.
   • Select Generate. Resources, such as projects, already exist in the workspace. You are warned that these resources will be deleted and you can choose whether to continue. If you continue, the resources are regenerated; the existing resources are deleted and re-created. If you decide not to continue, the pattern configuration remains open and no changes are made to the pattern resources.

     When you make changes in the Pattern Configuration editor, the summary file and configuration XML file might be out of date because the instance_name_configuration.xml and the instance_name_summary.html files do not match the generated resources. The Problems view displays any warning messages. Double-click the warning message to open the relevant editor for the resource.
