Configuring an LDL message

Messages are the units of data transferred between connection points. Each message has a message type that defines its purpose. In LDL, each message consists of any number of segments.

Note: The standard LDL format does not include messages, although a variant of LDL should define some messages. The standard LDL base definition cannot be deleted.

Add or modify messages within specific variants. Select an existing variant or create a new one.

  1. For an existing message, click the message name or specify a search string in the Search field.
    Click Find (binoculars).
  2. To create a new message, click New. This opens the Create New Message dialog box.
    1. Specify a Message Name and Message Description.
    2. Click OK. The new message displays in the Defined Messages panel.
