About this task
To open an existing message definition
file:
Procedure
- Switch to the Integration Development
perspective.
- In the Application Development view, right-click the message
definition file (file extension *.mxsd)
that you want to open, and select Open.
This opens the Message Definition editor for the
message definition file that you have specified.
Tip: The
Eclipse framework lets you open resource files with other editors.
However, you are advised to use only the IBM® Integration Toolkit Message Definition editor to
work with message definition files, because this editor correctly
validates any changes that are made to the message definition files.
Other editors might not do this.
- View or edit the data in the file as required.
