Message Sets: Working with data structures
You can create a message definition file in a message set by importing from XML Schema, XML DTD, SCA import or export components, IBM® supplied messages, WSDL definitions, IDL files, C header files, and COBOL copybooks. This topic area describes how to import from these data structures using the command line or the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit.
About this task
Tip: In WebSphere® Message
Broker Version 8.0 and
later, message model schema files contained in applications,
integration services, and libraries are the preferred way to
model messages for most data formats. Message sets are required if
you use the MRM or IDOC domains. For more information about message
modeling, see Message modeling concepts.
Before you attempt to create a message definition from a data structure, by using the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, you are advised to read Importing files from the file system into the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit.
