Introduction

Renaming existing queues/topics from event connectors and reflecting those changes in your message broker is not currently supported.

Similarly, renaming existing queues/topics in your message broker and reflecting those changes in existing event connectors is not currently supported.

What to do if a queue/topic name changes

If an existing queue/topic name changes, you should:

1. Remove the queue from any Patchworks event connectors (this also removes the queue from any process flow trigger shapes).

2. Make the required change directly in your message broker (e.g. RabbitMQ).

3. Add the 'new' (i.e. updated) queue to required Patchworks event connectors.

4. Apply the 'new' (i.e. updated) queue to required process flow trigger shapes.

Introduction

When adding or updating an event connector, you have the option to add new message queues/topics.

Need to know

• When you add a new queue/topic to an event connector, it is also added to your message broker.

• You can add as many queues/topics as you want for an event connector - they will all be available for selection when this event connector is chosen as the broker in a process flow trigger shape.

The steps

To add a new message queue/topic, follow the steps below.

Step 1 Access the queues/topics page for your event connector:

If you're adding a new event connector, this page is displayed as part of the creation process. Otherwise, you can access an existing connector and choose to update queues/topics.

Step 2 Enter a name for the queue/topic, then click the create button - for example:

Step 3 The new queue/topic is added for the event connector (and is also added to your message broker):

This queue will now be available for selection when the event connector is chosen as the broker in a process flow trigger shape.

Introduction

Message queues/topics are associated with event connectors. An event connector can have multiple queues/topics, and the same queue/topic can be used in multiple event connectors.

Introduction

Existing message queues/topics can be removed at any time. Before doing this, please consider the Need to know points detailed below.

Need to know

• When a queue/topic is removed from an event connector, it is detached from any process flow trigger shapes where it has been selected for that specific event connector (broker).

• There's no effect on any other event connectors or process flow trigger shapes which are using the same queue.

The steps

To remove an existing queue/topic for an event connector, follow the steps below.

Step 1 Access your existing event connectors.

Step 2 Click the name of the event connector that you want to update - for example:

Step 3 Select the queues/topics option at the top of the page:

Step 4 Click the name of the queue that you want to remove:

Step 5 Click the 'trash' icon at the top of the page:
