Creating an application from scratch

This task topic describes how to use the Start from scratch wizard to create the basic resources that are required to develop a Message Broker application. The Start from scratch wizard creates a message flow project, a message set project, sets up the project dependency, creates a message set and, optionally, creates a message flow and working set. To create these resources, perform the actions in this topic.

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Open the Start from scratch wizard by doing one of the following:
    • At the top of the Broker Development view, click on the down arrow down arrow. A list containing the three Quick Start wizards is displayed.
      • Click Start from scratch.
    • Click File> New> Project or right-click anywhere in the Broker Development view and then click New> Project on the pop-up menu. The New Project window opens.
      1. Expand Message Brokers. A list of wizards is displayed.
      2. Click the Start from scratch and click Next.
    The New Message Broker Application panel of the wizard is displayed. In this panel, you can type the names of the basic resources that are required to develop a Message Broker application.
  3. Type into the appropriate fields, the names of the message flow project, the message set project, the message set, the message flow, and the name of the working set that contains the two new projects. Default names of the message flow project, the message flow, and the working set are already displayed in the appropriate fields, but you can edit these fields by typing your own names for these resources.
    Note: You can change any of the names that are displayed by typing into the appropriate field the name that you want. You can also clear either of the check boxes that relate to the creation of a new message flow or a new working set; if you do this, you cannot enter text into the associated name field, and the associated resource file will not be created.
  4. Click Next. The Message set Physical Formats panel is displayed. The panel lists three physical formats: XML documents, Binary data (Custom Wire Format), and Text data (TDS Format).
  5. Select one or more of the check boxes to describe the type of message data that you want to process. If you do not select a check box, XML documents is selected by default.
  6. Click Finish to complete the task. The Start from scratch wizard closes.
The wizard creates a message flow project, message set project, message set, and, optionally, a message flow, with the names that you have specified. It also creates, optionally, a new working set, with the name that you have specified. The working set contains all of the resources you have created, and the Broker Development view shows the new working set as the active working set. If you have chosen not to create a new working set, the projects are created in the active working set currently shown in the Broker Development view.

The XML, CWF or TDS formats are created with default names for the message set.

The message flow, if created, is opened in the message flow editor.

If you have created a message flow, you can now go on to Defining message flow content.
