The View menu enables you to control how different components are displayed by default in Rhapsody IDE, and launch Rhapsody tools (for example the Object Browser, File Manager):

Option

Icon

Shortcut

Description

Toolbar



Show or hide the toolbar. The toolbar is displayed by default.

Status Bar



Show or hide the status bar at the bottom of the Rhapsody IDE user interface.

Properties


Alt+Enter

Display the Properties dialog for a selected component (route, filter or communication point).

You can also view the Properties dialog for a selected component using the following methods:

  • Route properties - select the route and then right-click and select the Route Properties command from the context menu in the Workspace or in the Route Editor.
  • Communication point properties - select the communication point and then right-click and select the Communication Point Properties from the context menu in the Workspace. Alternatively, double-click the communication point in the Route Editor.
  • Filter properties - select the filter in the Route Editing panel and then right-click and select Properties from the context menu. Alternatively, double-click the filter in the Route Editor.
  • Use the keyboard shortcut to display the properties for the selected component.

Workspace


Show or hide the Workspace panel. Select the Close icon to close the Workspace and display the Route Editor in full size. By default, the Workspace is located on the left-hand side of Rhapsody IDE, and may be repositioned into a free-floating window. It is composed of two tabs:

  • Configuration.
  • Definitions.

Information


Show or hide the Information panel. The panel displays:

  • Component configuration properties.
  • Component output status.
  • Component search results.
  • Component uses.

Filter Toolbox


Show or hide the Filter Toolbox, a list of filters on the right-hand side of Rhapsody IDE.

Notes



Show or hide the Notes Editor panel in Rhapsody IDE.

Error Outputs

Ctrl+Shift+E

Show or hide the Error Output and No Match Output connectors:

  • Error Output - a message is routed to the Error Output connector if an error occurs during the processing of a message, or if a message cannot leave a filter because it does not meet a conditional connector's restrictions and there is no No Match Output pathway available. The Error Output connector is also available on input-side communication points using advanced routing.
  • No Match Output - used in conjunction with the conditional and JavaScript connectors. Provides the pathway for messages that do not match the conditions set by these connectors. Refer to Connectors for details on the regular expression and functional conditional expression connectors.

When a route is first created in Rhapsody, both output connectors are displayed by default:


If pathways are not going to be associated with one or both of these connectors, you can hide the connectors to achieve a less cluttered look.

Hiding connectors on one route hides them on all routes; this may have the effect of removing portions of messaging pathways on routes not currently displayed. However, Rhapsody 'remembers' the connections and redisplays them when the output connectors are redisplayed.

No Match Outputs

Ctrl+Shift+M

Object Browser

Ctrl+Shift+O

Launch the Object Browser, which provides an at a glance overview of all communication points and routes in Rhapsody.

File Manager

Ctrl+M

Launch the File Manager, which lists all the message and mapper definition files loaded in the Rhapsody engine, which are used for the configuration of its various components.

Path View



Display a simplified view of the message pathway (by omitting filters) for all routes on the engine. The purpose of this view is to illustrate how the routes are connected with each other.

Rhapsody Variables

Ctrl+Shift+A

Launch the Variables Manager, which provides a central location for naming the properties used in the configuration of filters and communication points; for example, a directory pathname or port number. If a property value is updated in the Variables Manager, all items that reference that value are automatically updated without needing to be checked in.

Certificates and Keys Manager

Ctrl+Shift+K

Launch the Certificates and Keys Manager, which provides a single location where the security certificates and keys used to encrypt messages processed by the Rhapsody engine can be managed.

Templates

Ctrl+Shift+D Launch the Templates Manager, which provides a way to add, edit and remove templates.
Test Manager
