Restrictions for Modifying Messages

This section lists the conditions under which a message may become restricted and read-only. This list applies to all message types, including rowset-based messages, nonrowset-based messages, container messages, part messages, and subpart messages.

You cannot modify a message if one or more of the following conditions exists:

  • The service to which a message is contained in a restricted service.

  • The message is used internally by the system. For example, the delivered IB_GENERIC message is read-only and is used internally by the system.

  • The message is referenced in the runtime tables.

    To work around this, you must remove any entries in the runtime tables that reference the message.

  • The message is used in a service operation where WSDL documents have been generated.

  • The message is used in a service operation that has validation enabled.
