Message Flow editor hover-feedback

In the Message Flow editor, you can display node and connection metadata by hovering the mouse over a node or subflow in a message flow. To view metadata information for a node, subflow, or connection:
  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Open a message flow.
  3. In the Message Flow editor, hover the mouse over a node, a subflow, or a node connection in the open message flow by placing the mouse over the element.
A custom tooltip is displayed below the element.
  • To turn the pop-up window into a scrollable window, press F2.
  • To hide the pop-up window, either press Esc or move the mouse away from the node.

Node and subflow feedback

When you hover the mouse over a node or subflow in the Message Flow editor, the pop-up window contains the following metadata information:

If the node or subflow has no short or long description associated with it, only the first line of text is displayed.

If the task list contains errors or warnings that are associated with the node or subflow, the error or warning information is displayed instead of the metadata information.

Connection feedback

When you hover the mouse over a connection in the Message Flow editor, hover-help is displayed, containing the names of the output and input terminals that are connected.
