Testing a Message Definition

Testing a message definition verifies that its parser and serializer have the correct functionality. The Test Message tab of the Message Definition Editor lets you parse test data and convert the structured data back into a serialized format.

To test a message definition:

  1. In the WorkSpace Navigator, double-click the message definition you want to work with.

    The message definition opens in the Message Definition Editor.

  2. Select the Test Message tab.

  3. Enter parser test data or load it from a file.

  4. Test the parser, if applicable.

  5. Test the serializer, if applicable.
