Removing a physical format

Before you start:

To complete this task, you must have completed the following tasks:

The tasks in this topic area assume that you have added one or more physical formats to a message set. For further information see Adding a Custom Wire Format (CWF) or Adding an XML wire format or Adding a TDS physical format.

To remove a physical format layer from your message set:

  1. Close any message definition files that are currently open in the Message Definition editor, otherwise you will not be able to remove the physical format.
  2. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  3. In the Message Set editor, the Physical properties node of the Properties Hierarchy shows the name of each of the physical formats that have been added to the message set. If the physical format names are not in view, expand Physical properties by clicking +.
  4. Under Physical properties right-click the physical format that you want to remove then click Delete on the pop-up menu.
    Tip: If you decide to proceed with deleting the physical format, all of the message definition files under the current message set are modified and the amended message set file is saved.
  5. Click Finish to remove the physical format, or click Cancel to return to the Broker Application Development perspective without making any changes. Alternatively, pressing Esc also returns you to the Broker Application Development perspective without making any changes.
