Existing edge hostnames can be edited to modify Use Case-based Edge Mapping (UCEM) settings, but caveats apply. You may need to edit your edge hostname for multiple reasons:

• You want to add UCEM support to an existing property configuration that doesn't currently have it.

• You want to change the current UCEM setting for an edge hostname.

Before you begin

Review your edge hostname usage. Do you have multiple property configurations set up to use the same edge hostname? If so, review each configuration to ensure that editing the edge hostname won't negatively impact it.

How to edit an edge hostname

While you can edit various edge hostname settings via Property Manager or Edge Hostname Editor, you can't modify anything related to edge map usage. (Changing map usage may have a significant impact on performance for existing configurations.)

In special circumstances, your UCEM settings can be modified with Akamai assistance. Contact your account representative for details.
