For a new mset i need to reuse a message already defined in an existing mset .
Any way to do this ?
i tried to create new mset by copying from existing one and then trying to rename it , but it is throwing errors 
Can any one suggest a way ? |

HOW did you try to copy it?
HOW did you try to rename it?
WHEN did the errors come?
WHAT were the errors? |

Why do you need to do that? Can you share some details about your message flow and your data format(s)? |

I have seen all kinds of naming standards. Perhaps the OP's naming standard requires that a message set must be named so that you can see which flow is using it. I wouldn't be surprised.
@my_mqmb: When you create a message set with the wizard, the first screen lets you 'copy message set contents from another message set'. |

Perhaps.
I have seen data formats where the ability to reference a structure in another message set is a useful feature. I know of a way to do that. I do not know whether my_mqmb has that requirement - hence my question. |

i am copying mset contents from another mset.
Both have same structure of messages defined in the msg definitions , except for their root names .
I require little modification or renaming of parent tags and m good to go.
But since this new mset is inherited by another , the msg definitions of parent if deleted
causes a problem and says ::
the schema failed to navigate to path path ../../../../contact admin.msxd.
I can keep it though ,
But i dont need the details of the parent , how to get rid of it ?
Another Way could be ..?
please suggest .. |

Right. But why are you doing that? What problem are you trying to solve?
By the sound of it, you are duplicating a lot of information when you copy an entire message set. That could cause maintenance problems in the future. If you tell us what the message flow is doing, we may be able to suggest another approach. |
