About this task

This task topic describes how to add a Tagged/Delimited String (TDS) physical format layer to a message set using the Message Set editor.

To add a TDS physical format layer to a message set:

Procedure

  1. Switch to the Integration Development perspective.
  2. In the Message Set editor, in the Properties Hierarchy, open the Add Tagged/Delimited String Format window by right-clicking Tagged/Delimited String Formats then clicking Add Tagged/Delimited String Format on the pop-up menu.
  3. In the Add Tagged/Delimited String Format window, specify the name that you want to use for the new TDS format. The default name is 'Text1'.
    Tip: Physical format names must be unique across a message set. You are recommended to start the name of your new TDS physical format with 'TDS' or 'Text', because this clearly identifies the type of the physical format that you are adding in relation to any of the other types.
  4. Click OK to add the physical format to the message set. Alternatively, if you decide to cancel the process, click Cancel or press Esc on the keyboard.
    Tip: The new physical format layer is added with the relevant default property values. You can configure the message set properties according to your requirements, using the Message Set editor.
  5. Save your changes either by clicking File> Save or by pressing Ctrl+S.
