Creating a data design project

Create a data design project to contain the database definition file that describes your database.

About this task

Data design projects are used in the WebSphere® Message Broker Toolkit to contain a definition of your database, such as its structure, available fields, and data types, so that the data can be interpreted correctly by the WebSphere Message Broker runtime.

In this scenario, you create the AddressBook_DD data design project.

Procedure

Create the AddressBook_DD data design project in the Application Development view:

  1. Click File > New > Other > Data Design Project. The New Data Design Project wizard opens. If this is the first database design project you create within a new workspace you might see the Confirm Enablement window first.
  2. Enter AddressBook_DD as your Project name, and then click Finish.
    This figure shows the New Data design Project window with AddressBook_DD as the Project name.

    The Open associated perspective? window is displayed.

  3. Click No.

Results
