Removing a physical format

This task topic describes how to remove a physical format using the flow message set editor.

This task assumes that you have added one or more physical formats to the message set that you are working with. For further information see Adding a physical format.

To remove a physical format previously added to the message model:

  1. Close all message files (.sfmxsd) (also called message definition files) that are currently open in the flow message editor, otherwise you will not be able to rename the physical format.
  2. Switch to the Enterprise Service Tools perspective.
  3. In the flow message set editor, the Physical properties node of the Properties Hierarchy shows the name of each of the physical formats that have been added to the message set. If the physical format names are not in view, expand Physical properties by clicking +.
  4. Under Physical properties, right-click the physical format that you want to remove, then click Delete on the pop-up menu.
    Note: If you decide to proceed with deleting the physical format, all of the message files under the current message set are modified and the amended message set file is saved.
  5. Click Finish to remove the physical format, or click Cancel to return to the Enterprise Service Tools perspective without making any changes. Alternatively, pressing Esc also returns you to the Enterprise Service Tools perspective without making any changes.
