Message Sets: Adding an attribute reference
Add an attribute reference to a message, complex type, or complex element.
Before you begin
You must have completed the following tasks:
- Message Sets: Creating a message set
- Message Sets: Creating a message definition file
- Message Sets: Opening an existing message definition file
You can add an attribute reference to a message, complex type, or complex element. This task assumes that you have previously added the relevant message, complex type, or complex element to your message model.
About this task
To add an attribute reference to a message, complex type or complex element:
Procedure
- Switch to the Integration Development perspective.
- Ensure that the Outline view is visible in the Integration Development perspective of the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit. If the Outline view is not visible, from the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit menu, click Window > Show View> Outline.
- In the Outline view, right-click the message model object
(message, complex type, complex element, or attribute group) to which
you are adding the attribute reference then click Add Attribute
Reference on the pop-up menu. This action adds a default attribute reference to the message model object that points to an existing global attribute.
Results
You can now configure the attribute reference to your exact requirements. For further information about configuring message model objects see Message Sets: Configuring MRM message model objects.
