Creating resources in a library

You can create resources in a library that you want to reuse in multiple solutions.

Before you begin

  • Find out more about libraries in Libraries.
  • You can add resources to an existing library. (For more information, see Creating a library.) Alternatively, you can create a library when you create a resource.

About this task

A library is a container for resources that you want to reuse for multiple solutions. You can create resources such as maps, broker schemas, and database definitions. You can also generate message models and import resources such as CORBA IDL files, SCA files, and XSLT files. You can create subflows in a shared library, but you cannot create message flows in a shared library.

You can create resources in an existing library, or you can create a library when you create a resource.

Creating resources in an existing library

Procedure

  1. In the Application Development view, right-click a library, then click New.
  2. Select the resource to create.

    When you select a resource to create, the appropriate wizard opens; for example, the New Message Model wizard.

  3. If the library name is not already provided in the Application or Library field, select it from the list of available libraries.
  4. Follow the instructions in the wizard, then click Finish.

    The new resource is displayed under the library in the Application Development view.

  5. Enter a name for the library, then click Finish.

    A new shared library is created and shown in the Application Development view.
