Message set editor

The Message set editor is the default editor provided by the Integration Development perspective for editing message set (messageSet.mset) files.

The editor is launched in the editor area when you open an existing message set file using the Application Development view, or when you create a new message set file using the New Message Set File wizard.

Message set editor views

The Message set editor has the following views:

Application Development view
The Application Development view shows a hierarchical view of all the resources that are currently in your workspace. By expanding the folder for a message set project, you can see the resources, including the message set file, that this message set project contains.
Editor view
You edit the properties of message set in the editor area of the Message set editor, which has a single tab, the Properties tab. This tab provides:
  • The Properties Hierarchy, which provides a hierarchy with four basic categories: Message Set, XML Wire Formats, Custom Wire Formats, and Tagged/Delimited String Formats.
  • The Details view, which displays the properties relating to the currently selected level in the Properties Hierarchy.

    You select the Default message domain you require from the read-only drop down list. When you select the domain from the drop down list, the corresponding Supported message domains check box is greyed out and you cannot select it.

    You can add other domains by selecting the appropriate check boxes in Supported message domains.

There are tabs across the top of the editor area containing the file name for each file that you have open; this enables you to quickly switch between the open files.

Problems view
Each time that you save a change within a message set project, the content is validated to ensure that the message model follows certain rules. All informational, warning, or error, messages that relate to the validation appear in the this view.

Properties Hierarchy functions

Right-click in the Properties Hierarchy to display the menu items available for the level of the hierarchy that you have currently selected:

Details view functions

You use the Details view to define and edit global properties for the message set, and to create and edit properties for the physical format layers that you have added to the message set.

You create any required documentation for a message set in the Documentation field. Right-click in this field to display a menu of standard text editing menu items that apply specifically to this field and that allow you to undo changes, cut, copy, paste and delete text, and select all the text in the field.
