You can configure the Custom Wire
Format (CWF) properties of a message model object by using the Message
Definition editor
Before you start:
You
must have completed the following tasks:
To configure the CWF properties
of a message model object:
- Switch to the Broker Application
Development perspective.
- Ensure that the Outline view is visible in the Broker Application
Development perspective of the WebSphere® Message Broker Toolkit and is displaying the following
information:
- The name of the message definition file
- Messages
- Types
- Groups
- Elements and Attributes
If the Outline view is not visible, from the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit menu, click . If the above hierarchy is not displayed, ensure that
the message definition file is open in the Message Definition editor.
Message definition files have an .mxsd file
extension.
- In the Outline view, select the object for which you want
to configure the CWF properties by doing the following.
- Depending on the type of the object that you are selecting,
expand Messages, Types, Groups or Elements
and Attributes by clicking +.
- Click the object you that want to select within the
expanded node.
- Display the Properties tab of the
Message Definition editor by clicking Properties in
the lower-left corner of the editor area. In the
Message Definition editor, in the Properties Hierarchy, the name of
each of the physical formats that have been added to the message set
appears under Physical Properties. The object
type (for example, Local Element or Global Element) of the message
model object that you selected in the Outline view is displayed under
each physical format shown.
Tip: If the physical
formats are not in view in the Properties Hierarchy, expand Physical
Properties by clicking +. By default
the CWF physical format is called Binary1 but could have a user defined
name instead.
- Under Physical Properties, click
the object type for the message model object that you have chosen
to configure under the CWF physical format. The CWF
properties of your selected message model object appear in the Details
view.
- Configure the CWF properties of the selected object to
your requirements by making the appropriate changes to the information
shown in the Details view.
Note: It is not possible to
configure disabled fields.
- Save your changes by clicking or
pressing Ctrl+S. Alternatively click FileSave
All or press Ctrl+Shift+S.
