Message bodies

The message body is constructed below the message header in publishers and subscribers.

The following provides information about how to construct message bodies in IBM® Rational® Integration Tester.

Publisher/subscriber views
The structure of a message is defined when you are using the publish/subscribe actions. In each action type, different views of the message can be selected (that is, for displaying information that relates to the storage and validation of the message).
Importing and exporting messages
At the top of all message editors are the import and export icons.
Quick tags
A fast way to insert tags into fields is to use quick tags.
Defining the validation rules (comparison ignores)
Rules can be added to one or more message fields to define default actions to apply when you are processing similar fields.
Creating message bodies with non-schema transports
When you are using transports without a defined message schema (for example, TIBCO Rendezvous), the body of the message must be created manually.
Example: Publishing simple message bodies
See this example for how to create simple message.
Example: Creating simple message bodies for subscription
In this example, you create a message structure with the more powerful features of the field editor, namely, the ability to validate the structure of a message when it is received and the ability to capture field values and save them to tags. Validation is a key aspect of deciding whether a test passes or fails.
Converting a flat XML to structured XML
A powerful feature of the IBM Rational Integration Tester message editor is the ability to enter XML in String type fields and then edit the XML in a structured way.
Editing XML message structures
Editing XML is similar to editing normal message structures, but with a few enhancements. The following options in the element menu apply specifically to editing XML.
