Adding an Endpoint to a Message Service Using the New Messaging Endpoint Wizard

Use this method if you are adding an Email messaging type endpoint, if a connection profile is not available, or if you want to add a logical endpoint.

To run a message service, you must configure a way to connect to the external messaging system. An endpoint provides this connection, or binding, between the service and the external messaging system.

  1. Select the Service Interface tab in the service editor.
  2. Right-click on the Service Interface page and select Add Endpoint.

    The New Messaging Endpoint wizard opens.

  3. To add a service endpoint, choose one of the following:
    Table 1. Endpoint types
    Field Description
    Logical Defines a logical endpoint, requiring you to bind the service endpoint later in the development process.
    Server Defines and binds the service endpoint. You can edit this endpoint any time in the development process.
  4. Type a meaningful name for the endpoint and click Next.
  5. Select the messaging type and click Next.
  6. Specify the connection properties for the messaging type.
    • Select Browse for a valid endpoint in the Enterprise Explorer to specify the endpoint defined by an FTP, File, or JMS connection profile, then click Browse to locate the appropriate connection profile.

      The table displays the connection properties for the profile.

      Note: If you are using a JMS connection profile, verify that the Initial Context Factory and Queue Connection Factory properties are correct for your JMS provider type and site implementation. Some JMS providers allow multiple names for these properties.
    • Select Specify the endpoint properties and press Enter to enable the Next button, and enter user-specified connection properties.

      Use this option to define connection properties for Email messaging types.

  7. Click Next.
  8. Set the runtime properties for the messaging type.

    The runtime properties that can be set depend on the properties for the messaging type.

  9. Click Next.
  10. Review the information on the Summary page and and do the following:
    Option Action
    To edit a value Click Back.
    To complete the service endpoint Click Finish.

    The endpoint is added to the interface.
