Message Sets: Message set projects

A message set project is a specialized container in which you create and maintain all the resources associated with one message set.

Tip: Message set projects are used when working with message sets. A message set is the original container for message models used by IBM® Integration Bus. In WebSphere® Message Broker Version 8.0 and later, message model schema files contained in applications and libraries are the preferred way to model messages for most data formats. Message sets continue to be supported, and are required if you use the MRM or IDOC domains. If you need to model data formats for use in the MRM or IDOC domains, you must first enable message set development in the IBM Integration Toolkit. For more information, see Enabling message set development .

The content of a message set project is a single message set folder, and additional folders if you are modeling EIS data, CORBA data, or SCA import or export data. The name of the message set project provides the name of the message set. You can create a message set project by using the New Message Set wizard.

The following restrictions apply to message set projects:
  • A message set project must contain just one message set.
  • A message set project cannot refer to any other message set.
