Message bodies
The message body is constructed below the message header
in publishers and subscribers.
The following provides information about how to construct message bodies in IBM® Rational® Integration Tester.
- Publisher/subscriber views
The structure of a message is defined when you are using the publish/subscribe actions. In each action type, different views of the message can be selected. On selecting a view, information relating to the storage and validation of the message is displayed. - Importing and exporting messages
At the top of all message editors are the import
and export 
icons. - Quick tags
A fast way to insert tags into fields is to use quick tags. - Defining the validation rules (comparison ignores)
Rules can be added to one or more message fields to define default actions to apply when you are processing similar fields. - Creating message bodies with non-schema transports
When you are using transports without a defined message schema (for example, TIBCO Rendezvous), the body of the message must be created manually. - Example: Publishing simple message bodies
See this example for how to create simple message. - Example: Creating simple message bodies for subscription
In this example, you create a message structure with the more powerful features of the field editor, namely, the ability to validate the structure of a message when it is received and the ability to capture field values and save them to tags. Validation is a key aspect of deciding whether a test passes or fails. - Converting a flat XML to structured XML
A powerful feature of the IBM Rational Integration Tester message editor is the ability to enter XML in String type fields and then edit the XML in a structured way. - Editing XML message structures
Editing XML is similar to editing normal message structures, but with a few enhancements. The following options in the element menu apply specifically to editing XML.
