About this task

To add a CWF 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 Custom Wire Format window by right-clicking Custom Wire Formats, then clicking Add Custom Wire Format.
  3. On the Add Custom Wire Format window, specify the name that you want to use for the new CWF physical format. The default name is 'Binary1'.
    Tip: Physical format names must be unique across a message set. You are recommended to start the name of your new CWF physical format with 'CWF' or 'Binary', 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 layer 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 appropriate editor.
  5. Save your changes either by clicking File> Save or by pressing Ctrl+S.
