To configure the logical properties

Development perspective of the WebSphere® Message Broker Toolkit and is displaying the following
information:

- Elements and Attributes
If the Outline view is not visible, from the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit menu, click . If the information listed above is not displayed,
ensure that the message definition file is open in the Message Definition
editor. Message definition files have an .mxsd file

The type (for example, Local Element or Global Element) of
the message model object that you selected in the Outline view is
displayed under each of these nodes.
If the items under Logical
Properties are not in view, expand Logical
Properties by clicking +.
- Display the logical properties of the selected object in
the Details view of the Message Definition editor, by clicking the
appropriate item under Logical Properties.
