Configuring a message flow at deployment time with user-defined properties

Use user-defined properties (UDPs) to configure message flows at deployment and run time, without modifying program code. You can give a UDP an initial value when you declare it in your program, or when you use the Message Flow editor to create or modify a message flow.

Before you start:

For an overview of user-defined properties, see User-defined properties.

For an example of how to code a UDP statement, see DECLARE statement.

In ESQL, you can define UDPs at the module or schema level. After a UDP has been defined in the Message Flow editor, you can modify the value before you deploy it.

To configure UDPs, complete the following steps.

Open the broker archive (BAR) file. The contents of the BAR file are shown in the Manage page of the Broker Archive editor. On this page, you can expand a flow to show the individual nodes that it contains.
Click the message flow or subflow in which you are interested (not the .cmf compiled message flow file). The UDPs that are defined in that flow are displayed with their values in the Properties view.
If the value of the UDP is unsuitable for your current environment or task, change it to an appropriate value. The value of the UDP is set at the flow level, and is the same for all eligible nodes that are contained in the flow. If a subflow includes a UDP that has the same name as a UDP in the main flow, the value of the UDP in the subflow is not changed.
Save your BAR file.

Next:

Deploy the message flow by following the instructions in Deploying a broker archive file.
