Editing a Mediation Sequence

You can change a sequence properties and its mediators through the Management Console UI or using XML. The "main" and "fault" sequences are created and pre-configured automatically when you install the ESB, but you should edit them to suit your needs. Note that you should not rename a sequence once it has been created.

The following topics describe how to edit a sequence:

1. Sign In. Enter your user name and password to log on to the ESB Management Console.

2. Click "Main" in the left menu to access the "Manage" menu.

3. In the "Manage" menu, click on the "Sequences" under the "Service Bus."

4. Select the tab where your sequence is located:

• Defined Sequences - Shows sequences saved in Synapse configuration.
• Dynamic Sequences - Shows sequences saved in the Registry.

5. Locate a sequence to edit and click on the "Edit" link in the "Actions" column. If you have a long list of defined sequences, you can easily find a sequence by typing part or all of its name in the Search Sequence field and clicking the search icon.
