Developing a RAP Message Template from the RAP Messages Model

Export message definitions to a RAP template file.

Prerequisites
Create and validate your RAP messages model.

This is a summary. See Data Model and Queries > Model Generation for details.

  1. In PowerDesigner, open the RAP Messages model.
  2. Either:
    • Export a single message definition to a RAP template file from its Properties page. Or,
    • Export selected message definitions with the Extended Generation Tool.

    PowerDesigner creates message_name.xml files for the selected messages in the location you specify.
  3. Review the templates.
  4. To add or modify message templates, either:
    • Make the modifications in the RAP Messages model and reexport message definitions, or,
    • Make the modifications in the template, then import the template file into PowerDesigner.
