Creating a message category file

This topic describes how you would create a message category file.

Before you start:

You must have completed the following task:

To create a new message category file:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Open the New Message Category File wizard by right-clicking in the Broker Development view then clicking New> Message Category File on the pop-up menu.
    Tip: To preselect the message set when the wizard opens, either right-click the message set to which you are adding the message category file, or select the message set, before opening the wizard as just described.
  3. In the first pane, select the Category Kind for the type of category that you are creating.
    • other. Indicates that this Message Category represents a generic grouping of messages. The Category Usage field is disabled.
    • wsdl. Indicates that this Message Category represents a WSDL operation. The specified Category Name will become the WSDL operation name.
  4. If the Category Kind has been set to wsdl, specify the WSDL operation type by selecting one of the following values for the Category Usage field:
    • wsdl:request-response
    • wsdl:solicit-response
    • wsdl:one-way
    • wsdl:notification
  5. Click Next. In the Message Set Folder field, select a folder under the target message set for the new message category file to be saved.
  6. In the File name field, type a name for the new message category file (It will automatically be given the file extension of .category).
  7. Click Next. Select any messages that you want to add to the new category. Use Shift-click to select a range of messages and Ctrl-click to select or deselect individual messages. You cannot complete the creation of the category file without adding one or more messages and setting the Role Type and Role Usage values of each message correctly.
  8. Click Finish. A message category file is created within the message set folder that you selected, with the name that you specified and a file extension of .category.

The new message category file opens in the Message Category editor so that you can view and edit it as required.
