Name, Message Type, and Destination Table Name are on the General tab of the Message Definition Properties sheet.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name |
Text describing the type of market data message, for example, Stock Quote. This element is used only for descriptive purposes, and can contain any string. Same as RDS template MessageDesc field. |
| Message Type |
Unique number representing the type of market data message. This number must uniquely identify the message type across all message definitions within all templates. The value can contain any integer from 1 – 65535. Same as RDS template MessageType field. If you check the validity of the model, each message that has the same message type is noted. If you create the templates without first checking validity, the RAP publisher or subscriber may not initialize. |
| Destination Table Name |
Database table into which the message should be stored. There is one database table per message type. The value can contain any string, but should be a valid table name (not validated). Same as RDS template DestTableName field. Must match table in both physical data models. If the message is created first and then the RAPCache/RAPStore model is generated, this field is used to name the table. |
| Comments | Optional comment field, stored only in the model, not in the message. |
