Adding a local attribute

This topic describes how to add a local attribute to your message model.
To complete the tasks in this topic area, you must have completed the following tasks:

You can add a local attribute to a message, complex type or complex element. This task assumes that you have previously added the relevant message, complex type or complex element to your message model.

To add a local attribute to a message, complex type or complex element:

  1. Switch to the Enterprise Service Tools perspective.

  2. 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 Window > Show View > Outline.
    Note: You can also perform this procedure by selecting an element in the message definition editor.
  3. In the Outline view, right-click the object (message, complex type or complex element) to which you are adding the local attribute then click Add Local Attribute on the pop-up menu. A local attribute of type string is immediately added to the message model object and is assigned a default name.

  4. Either type a new name for the local attribute or press Enter to accept the default

    .

You can now configure the local element to your exact requirements. For further information on configuring message model objects see Configuring message model objects.
