Message Sets: Message set version and keywords

When you develop a message set, you can define the version of the message set, and other key information that you want to be associated with it.

After you have deployed the message set in a BAR file, you can view the message set properties in the IBM® App Connect Enterprise Toolkit and the web user interface. The properties include the deployment and modification dates and times (the default information that is displayed), and the additional version or keyword information that you have set.

Version

You can set the version of the message set in the Version property.

You can also define a default message set version in the Default version tag of the message set preferences. All message sets that you create after you have set this property have this default applied to the Version property at the message set level.

Keywords

You must define keywords in the Documentation property of the message set. Keywords follow certain rules to ensure that the information can be parsed. The following example shows the type of information that you can define in the Documentation property:
