Locking Down Node Properties for Project Copy

The Integration Network features a Node Lockdown page that enables you to lock select node properties on nodes defined in the local database so that they are not overwritten during project copy.

The properties that the system locks are those defined for the node in the Node component.

To access the page select PeopleTools > Integration Broker > Integration Network WorkCenter > Utilities > Node Lockdown.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Node Lockdown page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

The previous example shows the Node Lockdown page after searching the database for the QE_LOCAL node. You can search for and work with one node at a time by searching for a specific node, as this example illustrates. You can also return and work with a list of all nodes defined in the local database by leaving the Node Name field blank and clicking the Search button.

The Node List grid displays the search results and lists the node properties that you can lock.

Note that the Node List grid contains two tabs. The Primary Lockdown Fields grid contains node fields and properties that you can lock down such as the node user ID, node authentication, WS Security settings, and so on. The Secondary Lockdown Fields grid contains fields and properties you can lock down, including the default local node option, the segment aware option, and others.
