Adding a local attribute

Before you start:

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

You can add a local attribute to a message, complex type or complex element. This task assumes that you have previously added the relevant message, complex type or complex element to your message model.

To add a local attribute to a message, complex type or complex element:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Ensure that the Outline view is visible in the Broker Application Development perspective of the workbench. If the Outline view is not visible, from the workbench menu, click Window > Show View > Outline.
  3. In the Outline view, right-click the object (message, complex type or complex element) to which you are adding the local attribute then click Add Local Attribute on the pop-up menu. A local attribute of type string is immediately added to the message model object and is assigned a default name.
  4. Either type a new name for the local attribute or press Enter to accept the default.

You can now configure the local attribute to your requirements. For further information on configuring message model objects see Configuring message model objects.
