You can edit configuration properties in Studio and in
the Web Management Console (WMC).
- Editing Configuration Properties in Studio
- You can edit specific information for an existing property by
opening the Configuration Properties dialog box and double-clicking
the entry. This does not include changing the type. If you make a change
and click OK, all of the applications of that
property are updated automatically. You cannot delete properties that
are in use in an orchestration. You can delete only unused properties
or properties that you have removed from active orchestrations.
- Editing Configuration Properties in the WMC
- When the project is published to the Integration Appliance, you
can change the values of the configuration properties using the WMC.
For example, you can create configuration properties in Studio that
stores the following database connection information for a database
endpoint: hostname, IP address, username, and password. You can then
publish the project to the Integration Appliance, deploy the project,
and test against a development database. When testing is complete,
you might want to connect to a different database; for example, your
production database. Using the WMC, you can update the values of the
configuration properties in the project on the Integration Appliance
to point to the production database.
Changes you make to configuration properties in a project
configuration using the WMC are independent of values you specified
for the configuration property in Studio. When you create project
configuration properties in Studio and publish the project to the
WMC, the WMC displays a Default project configuration. In
this project configuration, and any project configuration you generate
from the published project, you can use the WMC to modify the configuration
property values you specified in Studio before publishing the project.
If
you undeploy the project, update the configuration property values
using Studio, and publish the project to the WMC again. The existing
project configurations do not reflect the changes. To see the changes
you just made to the configuration properties (using Studio), you
must use the WMC to create a project configuration. This new project
configuration displays the configuration property values you specified
for the project in Studio.
