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 Broker
Development 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 Broker Development view is also marked with a warning icon.
