Message Sets: Adding an element reference

Add an element reference to a message, type, group, or complex element.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

This task assumes that you have previously added the relevant message, type, global group, or complex element to your message model.

To add an element reference to a message, type, global group, or complex element:

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 object (message, complex type, group, or complex element) to which you are adding the element reference, then click Add Element Reference on the pop-up menu.
This adds a default element reference to the message model object that points to an existing global element. This existing global element might be in the current message definition file or in a message definition file defined under Includes or Imports for the current message definition file. For further information about Imports and Includes, see Message Sets: Linking from one message definition file to another.

You can now configure the element reference to your exact requirements. For further information about configuring message model objects see Message Sets: Configuring MRM message model objects.
