About editing messagings that are enabled for transactional message

To edit a messaging that is enabled for transactional message, you must disable the messaging for transactional message before you begin.

After you finishing editing the messaging, you must re-enable the messaging for transactional message. During this process, the Deliver TMS does not respond to transactional requests for the disabled messaging. The local systems that monitor transaction events must be designed to temporarily store the message requests until you re-enable the messaging for transactional message.
