    Tip: You can also use a local ANONYMOUS complex type when creating a multipart message. For further information see Message Sets: Adding a complex type to an element.
  4. Display the Properties tab of the Message Definition editor by clicking Properties in the lower-left corner of the editor area.
  5. In the Properties Hierarchy, under Logical properties, click one of the following items, depending on which of these you added in step 3:
    • Complex Type
    • Global Group
    • Local Group
  6. In the Details view, make the following changes to the displayed logical properties:
    1. In the Composition drop-down list, click message.
    2. In the Content validation drop-down list, click Open, Closed or Open Defined, depending on your requirements. Note that if the embedded message is defined in a different message set, you must click Open. For further information about using these three options, see MRM content validation.
Note: There are a number of different ways for the parser to identify an embedded message within a message bit stream. For further information on identifying a message within another message refer to the following concept topics.
