## Editing running routes

Revision History

## Overview

If you want to experiment with changes to a running route, you can make the edits directly from the Fuse Integration perspective. The developer tools open the context file containing the route in the route editor. When your changes are saved, they take effect immediately.

The changes are made to the in-memory model of the running context, but are not persisted as part of their original project or any other project.

| Note
If you want to save the changes permanently, you must use the Save As menu option.

## Procedure

To edit a running route:

1. In the Fuse JMX Navigator tree, select the context containing the route(s) you want to edit.

2. Right-click to open the context menu, and select Edit Routes.

   Route editor displays the context and all of its routes.

3. Edit the route(s) as described in Part I, “Developing Applications”.

4. When done, save the edited route.

   - Select File > Save to update the in-memory version of the routing context.

     Changes take effect immediately.

   - >Select File > Save As to save the edited routing context in a new context file.
