  • How do I get assistance when I am developing my applications?

    You can get assistance when you develop your applications by using content assist. Content assist provides a list of available code options, for example the XPath functions to use in a message map, or a list of available references, for example to assist with constructing message references in ESQL. Content assist is available in the following editors when developing applications:
    • ESQL Editor
    • Java™ Editor
    • Graphical Data Mapping Editor

    You can also use content assist to help construct XPath expressions in the properties of some message flow nodes. Content assist can be displayed in the properties fields, and in the XPath Expression Builder.

    To access content assist, either select Edit > Content Assist or press Ctrl+Space to display a list of available options. To use content assist to help with constructing messages, you must have created the message model (or message set) in the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and linked it to your Message Broker project; see Adding and removing library references.

  • How do I get help when I am using commands?

    You can get usage information for the commands by entering the command without any parameters, or alternatively entering the command followed by /?, for example:
    mqsilist /?
