5.8. Activate a Channel

When a channel is complete, including testing, you can activate it. An activated channel will be put in production next time you Deploy channels that includes it. Once it is in production, the channel will receive incoming messages and process them according to its configuration.

A channel cannot be activated ( Activate channel command is not available) until all required conditions are met (gateways and messages properly defined, at least one test case is configured,...) to complete the channel definition.

If you remove one of the mandatory conditions in an active channel, such as a message definition for example, the channel will be automatically deactivated.

You can always deactivate an active channel if you want to replace it or if it is not used anymore in production.

See Activate and Deploy a Channel for further information about channel activation and deactivation process.
