Relaunching OTDs

A single OTD can consist of many lines of metadata. When a change to the metadata occurs in an OTD, it does not have to be recreated from scratch. Using the Relaunch function allows the OTD to be rebuilt and saved under the same name, then relaunched back to the same java collaboration or BPEL.

To Relaunch an Existing OTD

1. Right-click on the OTD in the Enterprise Explorer.
2. Click Relaunch from the submenu.

   The Select Files Wizard opens.

3. Enter the File Name (or Browse and Select) that you wish to be relaunched and click Next.
4. Continue with the Wizard as described when creating the OTD.
5. Click the Finish button to save the changes.

   When relaunching an OTD, an existing collaboration will not be affected if:

   • New columns are added

   • Deleted columns are not used in the original collaboration

     Note - Validation will fail if existing collaborations are not modified when columns are renamed or deleted.
