While the What's new in Version 6.0? topic introduces you to the
main new function in WebSphere Event Broker Version
6.0, this topic
introduces you to additional function that has been added in Message Brokers Toolkit Version
6.0.2.0. This version is compatible with any runtime component level.
- New categories for nodes on the node palette
- The nodes on the node palette have been organized into categories, as
shown in Message flow node palette. You can add the nodes that you
use most often into the Favorites category, either by dragging them, or using
the menu, as described in Adding nodes to the Favorites category on the palette.
- Editing node properties
- You can rename a node in the Message Flow editor when you add it to the
canvas, or you can rename it on the Description tab of the Properties view.
- When you double-click a node in the Message Flow editor, you open the
resource that is associated with that node; for example, if you double-click
a Mapping node, you open the New Message Map dialog box. When you double-click
a node that does not have a resource associated with it, you open the Properties
view for that node.
- You can choose to view and edit a node's properties either in the tabbed
Properties view beneath the Message Flow editor, or in the Properties dialog
box.
For more details, see Configuring a message flow node.
- Refreshing the contents of a broker archive
- Instead of having to remove resources from a broker archive and, having made required changes, add them back again, there is now an option in the Broker Archive editor that allows you to refresh the contents of a broker archive. You can also now view, and clear, the user and service logs from the Broker Archive editor.
