Manipulating messages in the MRM domain

How to use messages that have been modeled in the MRM domain, and that are parsed by the MRM parser.

About this task

The following topics show you how to deal with messages that have been modeled in the MRM domain, and that are parsed by the MRM parser. The physical formats associated with the message models do not affect this information unless specifically stated. Use this information in conjunction with the information about manipulating message body content; see Manipulating message body content.

The structure of a "Customer" message is shown in the following example.

A message that contains elements that define the customer and a video rental transaction

The message includes a variety of structures that demonstrate how you can classify metadata to the MRM. Within an MRM message set, you can define the following objects: messages, types, groups, elements, and attributes. Folder icons that represent each of these types of objects are displayed for each message definition file in the Integration Development perspective.

Each message definition file can contribute to a namespace. You can combine several message definition files to form a complete message dictionary, which you can then deploy to an integration node.
