If you want to save the message flow without closing it in the
editor view, press Ctrl+S or click on the taskbar menu (where name is
the name of this message flow). You can also choose to save everything
by clicking . The message flow is saved and the message flow validator
is invoked to validate its contents. The validator provides a report of any
errors that it finds in the Tasks view. The message flow remains open in the
editor view.
For example, if you save a message flow and have not set
a mandatory property, an error message appears in the Tasks view and the editor
marks the node with the error icon
. The message flow in the Navigator view is also marked
with the error icon. This can occur if you have not edited the properties
of an MQInput node to define the queue from which the input node retrieves
its input messages.
(If you edit the properties of a node, you cannot
click OK unless you have set all mandatory properties.
Therefore this situation can arise only if you have never set any properties.)
You
might also get warnings when you save a message flow. These are indicated
by the warning icon
. This informs you that, although there is not an explicit
error in the configuration of the message flow, there is a situation that
might result in unexpected results when the message flow completes. For example,
if you have included an input node in your message flow that you have not
connected to any other node, you get a warning. In this situation,
the editor marks the node with the warning icon. The message flow in the Navigator
view is also marked with a warning icon.
