This task topic describes how to rename a physical format using the Message Set editor.

To rename a physical format previously added to the message model:

  1. Close all message definition (.mxsd) files that are currently open in the Message Definition editor, otherwise you will not be able to rename 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 rename then click Rename on the pop-up menu to open the "Rename wire format" window.
  5. In the "Rename wire format" window, type the new name for the physical format. The renaming operation modifies all of the message definition files in the message set and saves the amended message set file.
  6. Click Finish to rename the physical format and save the message set file.
