Developing message flows

Design, create and maintain message flows using the workbench.

A message flow is a sequence of processing steps that run in the broker when an input message is received. The topics in this section describe how to create and maintain message flows.

Task topics:

See also a section of topics that contain reference information about message flows.

The workbench provides a set of toolbar icons that invoke wizards that you can use to create any of the resources associated with message flows, for example, message flow projects. Hover your mouse pointer over each icon to see its function.

The workbench lets you open resource files with other editors. Use only the workbench message flow editor to work with message flow files, because this editor correctly validates all changes that you make to these files when you save the message flow.

When you have completed developing your message flow, deploy it to a broker to start its execution.

For a basic introduction to developing message flows, see the IBM Redbooks publication WebSphere Message Broker Basics.
