Opening an existing message definition file

This task topic describes how to open an existing message definition file in the Message Definition editor so that you can view and edit its contents.

To open an existing message definition file:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. In the Broker Development view, right-click the message definition file (file extension *.msxd) that you want to open, then click Open on the pop-up menu. This launches the Message Definition editor for the message definition file that you have specified.
    Tip: The Eclipse framework lets you open resource files with other editors. However, you are advised to use only the workbench Message Definition editor to work with message definition files, because this editor correctly validates changes that are made to the message definition files. Other editors might not do this.
  3. View or edit the data in the file as required.
