This topic describes how to add a message from a global element to your message file (also called a message definition file).
To complete the tasks in this topic area, you must have completed the following tasks:
To add a message from a global element to your message model:
- Switch to the Enterprise Service Tools perspective.
- Ensure that the Outline view is visible in the Enterprise Service Tools perspective of the workbench. If the Outline view is not visible, from the workbench menu, click .
Note: You can also perform this procedure by selecting the Messages folder in the message definition editor.
- In the Outline view, right-click the Messages folder, then click Add Message From Global Element on the pop-up menu to open the Add Message From Global Element window. This window lists all the global elements of a complex type that are not already associated with a message.
- In the Choose a Global Element list, click the global element that you want to use to create your message.
- Click OK. This immediately adds a message with the same name as the selected global element to your message model.
You can now configure the properties of the message to your exact requirements. For further information on configuring message model objects see Configuring message model objects.
