Adding database definitions to the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit
You must have a database definition (.dbm file), contained in a data design project, to create database mappings by using the Mapping node.
If you can connect to your database server by using the WebSphere® Message Broker Toolkit, you can create a database definition when you create your database mapping; see Mapping database content. If you cannot connect to your database server by using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, you must create a database definition file from scratch before you can create your database mapping; see Creating a database definition from scratch.
You can also use database definitions in other nodes, such as the Compute node, to validate references to database sources and tables. You must include a data design project in an application, or reference it from a Message Broker project, before you can use the database definitions that the data design project contains.
Database definition files in the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit are not automatically updated. If you modify your database, you must re-create the database definition files.
