Renaming and Deleting Message Definitions

You can rename and delete messages using the Messages page (IB_HOME_PAGE5) in the Services Administration component (IB_HOME_PAGE). The Message page contains two sections: a Delete section that enables you to delete message definitions and a Rename section that enables you to rename message definitions.

To access the page, select PeopleTools > Integration Broker > Service Utilities > Service Administration and click the Messages tab.

When you first access the Messages page, all sections are collapsed. Click the section header arrow buttons to expand and collapse each section.
