Inserting nodes into existing message flows

You can insert a node into an existing message flow without having to delete existing connections and create connections for the new node.

Before you start:

The following instructions assume that you have created a message flow, as described in Creating a message flow.

In earlier versions of IBM® Integration Bus, to insert a new node into a message flow, you had to delete the existing connection between two nodes, insert the new node, then create new connections between the existing nodes and the new node. From WebSphere® Message Broker Version 7.0 onwards, you can insert a new node in one step by dropping it onto an existing connection, as described by the following steps.
  1. In the Message Flow editor, open the message flow into which you want to insert a new node.
  2. Choose the node that you want to insert from the message flow node palette.
  3. Drag the node onto the connection between the two nodes where you want the new node to be added. When the mouse pointer is over the connection, a label is displayed saying "Add a node here". When you release the mouse button, the node is inserted in the message flow and is automatically connected to the preceding and succeeding nodes.
