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. |
