Deleting a user-defined element

You can delete a user-defined element by using the Delete function from the context menu options. Alternatively, you can use the Delete key or the Delete icon in the Graphical Data Mapping editor button bar.

You can reuse a user-defined element in multiple locations in your input message assembly or your output message assembly if they are of the same type. However, you can only delete one user-defined element entry, that is the entry that you select for deletion. The rest of instances where the user-defined element is defined remain intact.

Procedure

  1. Identify the user-defined element that you want to delete in the input message assembly or the output message assembly.
  2. Right-click the element.

    A context menu appears.

    Displays the context menu that appears when you right-click the element.

  3. Select the Delete function and click OK.
