Configuring the properties of the input and the output message assembly to a message map

You can configure the general properties of the input and output message assembly in a message map by using the Graphical Data Mapping editor.

About this task

The input and output message assembly properties are located within the General tab. They provide information that is displayed for information only, and cannot be modified. In addition, you can configure the message assembly components that you might require to define your data transformations, and the message domain that defines the serializer to convert the logical tree structure into a bit stream.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to configure the general properties of the input and output message assembly to a message map:

  • Configure the source message assembly components:
    1. Select the input message assembly in the map, and then select the Properties tab.

      You can see the Source - Message Assembly properties:

      Source-Message Assembly properties view

    2. Add or remove message assembly components to the message map source message assembly.

      For more information, see Customizing a message map to include a message assembly component.

  • Configure the target message assembly components:
    1. Select an output message assembly in the map, and then select the Properties tab.

      You can see the Target - Message Assembly properties:

      Target-Message Assembly properties view

    2. Specify the Output domain. This property defined the parser used to create the output message.
    3. Add or remove message assembly components to the message map target message assembly.
