Editing Configuration Properties

You can edit configuration properties in Studio and in the Web Management Console (WMC).

About this task

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.

Results

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.
