Modifying a Subflow

  1. Open the subflow in Enterprise Designer.
  2. Before modifying the subflow, you may want to consider how the change will impact the dataflows using the subflow. To see which dataflows are using the subflow, select Tools > Used By.
  3. Modify the subflow as needed.

    Note the following:

    • When you delete an Input or Output stage or add an additional Input or Output stage, Enterprise Designer displays a warning message reminding you that other dataflows are using the subflow and giving you the option of seeing which dataflows use the subflow. If you continue saving the reusable stage, Enterprise Designer will unexpose all dataflows used by the subflow.
    • If you change a subflow in another way, such as by changing a file name or the stage configurations, Enterprise Designer will display a warning message reminding you that other dataflows are using the subflow and give you the option of seeing which dataflows use the subflow. You can continue without unexposing those dataflows.
  4. When you are done making your changes, select File > Save.
  5. Select View > Refresh in order for the changes to be reflected in the parent dataflow.
    Note: If you have more than one version of the subflow, remember that the version that is used in the parent dataflow is the exposed version. When you make a change to a subflow, be sure to expose the most recent version in order for your changes to take effect in the dataflows that use the subflow.
