Message Sets: Adding a local attribute
Add a local attribute 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 a local attribute 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 a local attribute 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 object (message, complex
type, complex element, or attribute group) to which you are adding
the local attribute then click Add Local Attribute on
the pop-up menu. A local attribute of type string is immediately added to the message model object and is assigned a default name.
- Either type a new name for the local attribute or press Enter to accept the default.
Results
You can now configure the local attribute to your requirements. For further information about configuring message model objects see Message Sets: Configuring MRM message model objects.
