Modifying Message Flow Settings

Active message flows between you and your partners don’t require much maintenance. However, you might need to:

  • Change flow identifiers, endpoints, or maps.

  • Switch from a sandbox environment and reclaim production-environment resources.

  • Delete the flow when it becomes inactive, as described in Deleting Message Flows.

Before making changes, carefully consider the impact on the message flow.
