Setting Message Definition Preferences

Use message default preferences to define the global default properties of message definitions, fields, and containers.

When you create a new message definition, the message default preferences serve as the defaults for the message definition. Editing message default preferences does not retroactively change an existing message definition.

  1. Select Window > Preferences from the main menu bar.
  2. In the left pane, expand Sybase, Inc, expand Message Designer, and select Message Defaults.
  3. Select each tab to define the associated default properties.
  4. Click OK.
