    Spoke actions

    Category Action Description

    Delete Endpoint Deletes a Traffic Manager Endpoint.
    Look up Endpoint Retrieves the details of a Traffic Manager Endpoint.
    Update Endpoint Updates a Traffic Manager Endpoint.

    Connection and credential alias requirements

    Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection. For more information, see Connections and Credentials.
