To use binary (non-XML) format data in a message to be used for service component execution, create a binary format definition file.
For details about the data types and character code types used in the binary format definition file, see 4.4.1 Data types and character code types in the binary format definition file.
The following figure shows the workflow for creating a binary format definition file.
Figure 4-2 Workflow for creating a binary format definition file
- (1) Creating a new binary format definition file
- Use a wizard to create a new binary format definition file.
- For details about how to create a new binary format definition file, see 4.4.2 Creating a New Binary Format Definition File.
- (2) Defining elements
- Define elements in the newly created binary format definition file. The method of defining elements differs when the binary data to be used is in the non-CSV format and in the CSV format.
- For the details about how to define elements, see 4.4.3 Defining Elements (for Non-CSV Format) or 4.4.4 Defining Elements (for CSV Format).
- (3) Validating the binary format definition file
- Validate the conformity of the created binary format definition file. You can perform validation at any time, such as when the elements of the binary format definition file are being defined, or after they have been defined.
- For details about how to validate a binary format definition file, see 4.4.6 Validating a Binary Format Definition File.
- (4) Saving the binary format definition file
- Save the binary format definition file in which elements have been defined. Unlike adapters and business processes, binary format definition files are not saved in a repository. To save the defined binary format definition file, use the Package Explorer of Eclipse.
- When the binary format definition file is being saved, it is automatically validated (in this case, the validation result is not displayed in the console view).
- (5) Editing the binary format definition file
- You can modify the contents of a binary format definition file that has already been created. For details about how to edit a binary format definition file, see 4.4.5 Editing a Binary Format Definition File.
- (6) Deleting a binary format definition file
- As necessary, you can delete a binary format definition file that is no longer needed. To delete a binary format definition file, use the Package Explorer of Eclipse.
