To configure the TDS properties
of a message model object:
Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
Ensure that the Outline view is visible in the Broker Application Development perspective of
the workbench and is displaying the following
information:
The name of the message definition file
Messages
Types
Groups
Elements and Attributes
If the Outline view is not visible, from the workbench menu,
click Window> Show View> Outline. If the above hierarchy
is not displayed, ensure that the message definition file is open in the Message
Definition editor. Message definition files have an .mxsd file
extension.
In the Outline view, select the object for which you want to configure
the TDS properties by doing the following:
Depending on the type of the object that you are selecting,
expand Messages, Types, Groups or Elements
and Attributes by clicking +.
Click the object that you want to select within the expanded
node.
Display the Properties tab of the Message
Definition editor by clicking Properties in the bottom
left corner of the editor area. In the Message Definition
editor, in the Properties Hierarchy, the name of each of the physical formats
that have been added to the message set appears under Physical
Properties. The object type (for example, Local Element or Global
Element) of the message model object that you selected in the Outline view
is displayed under each physical format shown.
Tip:
If the physical formats are not in view
in the Properties Hierarchy, expand Physical Properties by
clicking +. By default the TDS physical format is called
Text1 but could have a user defined name instead.
Select the Properties tab located in the
bottom left corner of the Message Definition editor.
Under Physical Properties, under the TDS
physical format, click the object type for the message model object that you
have chosen to configure. The TDS physical format properties
of your selected message model object appear in the Details view.
Configure the TDS physical format properties of the selected object
to your requirements by making the appropriate changes to the information
shown in the Details view.
Note: It is not possible to configure
disabled fields.
Save your changes by selecting File> Save message_definition_file.mxsd from
the menu or press Ctrl+S. Alternatively, from the menu, select File
> Save All, or press Ctrl+Shift+S.
