Creating an application based on an existing message set

Before you start:

You must have completed the following task:

This task topic describes how to create a new application that is based on an existing message set.

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Open the New Message Broker Application wizard. You can do this in one of the following ways:
    • At the top of the Broker Development view, click the down arrow down arrow. A pop-up window displays the three Quick Start wizards.
      • Click Start from existing message set.
    • Click File> New> Project, or right-click anywhere in the Broker Development view and then click New> Project. The New Project window opens.
      1. Click Message Brokers. A list of wizards is displayed.
      2. Click Start from existing message set and then click Next.
    The first panel of the New Message Broker Application wizard is shown.
  3. Set up the basic resources that are required to develop a Message Broker application from an existing message set.
    1. (Optional) If the message set that you want to use is in a .zip file, click Import a message set from a ZIP file and either type the location of the message set in the Zip file and Zipped message set fields, or click Browse... and select and open the .zip file from the list that is displayed, and then select the required message set. If the .zip file that you specify does not contain a message set, you receive a message that tells you this. If you want, you can then type a different location for the message set in the Zip file field. Otherwise click Cancel.
    2. (Optional) If the message set that you want to use is not in a .zip file, click Create a new message set by copying an existing message set and type into the Message set to copy field the name of the message set file that you want to copy. A list is displayed of the message set names that you can choose from.
    3. Click Next.
    A panel of the New Message Broker Application wizard is shown. In this panel, you can type the names of the projects, the message flow, the message set, and the working set that contains the two new projects.
  4. Type into the appropriate fields, the names of the projects, the message flow, the message set, and 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, however, that if the message set is copied from a .zip file that is a project interchange file, you cannot edit the names of the message set project and the message set; the names are imported from the .zip file.
  5. Click Finish. The new message set project, message set, message flow project, and message flow are created. A new working set is also created, if required. The new projects appear in the specified working set. The contents of the message set project and the message flow project are displayed in the Broker Development view. The message flow is opened in the message flow editor.
