Editing a Topic

Editing a Topic

You can edit the properties of an existing topic. You can also change the name of the topic that you want to edit. Any change that you make to a topic affects all rules that reference the topic. After you edit a topic that has associated primary objects, you can choose to save the topic or simultaneously save and deploy the referenced primary objects.
  1. On the
    Design
     tab, click the
    Topics
     view.
  2. In the Topics content panel, select the topic name that you want to edit.
  3. From the menu, click
    Edit
    .
    The
    Edit Topic
     dialog box appears.
  4. Change the details and properties of the topic.
  5. Click
    Save
    .
    The
    Details View
     displays the updated topic. The state of the topic is in the Draft state.
  6. If you edit a deployed topic that has associated primary objects, perform the following tasks to save the topic:
    1. Click
      Save
      .
      A message appears displaying the name and the type of primary objects that reference the topic.
    2. Click
      Continue
      .
      A success message appears, stating that the topic is updated successfully.
    3. Click
      OK
      .
      The state of the topic and the objects that reference it changes from Deployed to Needs_Deployment state.
    4. If you want to redeploy the objects, click the specific topic in the Topics content panel, and then click
      Update RunTime
       from the menu.
      The
      Dependent Objects
       dialog box displays the list of primary objects that will be redeployed.
    5. Click
      Continue
      .
      The preview message displays successful redeployment. If the topic is referenced in a rule, the message prompts you if you want to trace the rules. If the topic is referenced in the source, the message prompts you to preview the events. If there are invalid objects, fix them, and click
      Continue
      .
      The state of the objects changes from Needs_Deployment state to Deployed state.
    6. Click
      OK
       to preview the events or trace the rules, or
      Cancel
       to escape the preview.
  7. If you edit a deployed topic that has associated primary objects, perform the following tasks to simultaneously save and deploy the referenced primary objects:
