I have an issue, where I am trying to add entries to a message Broker Archive, from a Message flow project. Normally, files within the Message flow projects, will appear in the right pane when you click on the name from the left pane. No files show! If I check the box next to that project and continue with the add, no files get added. The Message Flow Project has all these files, but do not show up in the Message Broker Archive utility. I'm stumped, I have never seen this behaviour before.
Any ideas, on how to resolve this, or what is preventing the Message Flow Project contents from being displayed in the Broker Archive window? |

I did notice such behaviour once, I installed the latest fix pack for my toolkit and updated it with the latest updates from the Software Updates section under the Help menu.  |

Are you storing your projects in version control, by any chance?
I've seen this issue before, if the .project file is not stored in CVS for example. When the project is checked out, it appears in the toolkit as a simple project, not a message flow/set project (check the folder icon to see if it shows as a message flow project in the development perspective).
The .project file contains information about the project "nature". Unless the file exists and contains a line which says "this is a message flow project" (can't remember the exact syntax off the top of my head), the bar file builder will not let you add flows from it.
Could this be it? Otherwise - hrm - as usual make sure you are fully updated - but don't have any other ideas immediately. |

I have looked at your suggestions and interrogated the .project files. They appear to be fine. I have 6 different message flow projects, 5 of them behave properly in the bar file builder (i.e. the message flows show up in the utilities right hand pane when clicked on). Only this one is a problem.
Ihave compared the .project file of a working one and a non-working one and they essentially are identical.
I do use CVS, but do not see where this is an issue. Again all other projects are treat the same. As far as product updates, I'm current.
Any other thoughts? A co worker of mine, is also experiencing the same issue, but with different project, as well as the same one as I. Nothing shows up for him in any of the projects. I do not remember having this issue before I implemented CVS. |

I just saw this behavior yesterday. The problem was that the esql and msg flow files weren't in a package (schema). I recreated the msg flow project and moved the files into the default project and then they showed up in the right hand pane of the "bar add" dialog.

| I created a new Message Flow Project and moved the files from the "faulty" project to the new project (under default project) and then tried to access then through then new project. Same issue. It seems like the problem is in the files and not the project, as it looks like in doing this I moved the problem around. |

Are you sure there are no errors in your esql and msg flow files then?

Looks like there is a problem with either the E-SQL file or the message flow. Do check the following :
1. Is the message flow and e-sql file asociation correct ?
2. Try to create a separate bar file with the faulty Message Flow project and see if anything comes under that.
3. As a precautionary measure, check the project references of this troubled MFP.
Given the above two and if your version of WBIMB is current then i guess you would be able to identify the problem yourself. Most of the cases we think that there is not problem with the Message Flow project , but end of the day we find that it is a problem the same...  |

I know there are no probelms with the files, as these files and project they are in, are a referenced projects in other projects. Those bar file were created once using this project(so at one time all was well).
I'm convinced the problem is CVS releated, but not sure how. I say this, because an associate has built projects and then tried to build a bar file from those projects, but no files show up on any of the Message Flow Project he tries to reference in the bar utility. He built his project from the files which were in CVS. So there seems to be a common thread, but WHAT? |

After working on this problem with support, here is what was determined.
All the messages flows on that Message Flow Project were subflows. By nature of a subflow, they cannot be deployed by themselves, therefore will not show up in the bar utility(I question this, as this is how I orriginally got them into the existing bar). I was told, that subflows, would automatically be pulled in by any parent message flow when the parent flow was updated. I tested this as follows. I removed all instances of these subflows fron the bar file. I modified a subflow to add the comment --Hello World. I then updated the parent flow in the bar file(just re-added it). I then unzipped the bar file and looked at the parent.cmf file. Withing that parent, the updated sub-flows esql had been pulled in. So this validated what I was seeing. Oh, insure that for the Message Flow project, click on Properties and insure that reference projects are stated.
However, I have an associate, who has 5 Message Flow projects, and cannot access any of the message flows in the bar utility(they are parents). So I have a PMR opened on this issue. But again, we use CVS, which may be corrupting the .project file when CVS is used as the source to build the Message Flow Project. I will update this entry with what I find on the new PMR. Hope this helps some |

check if the installation is under the default directory : c/Program Files/IBM/Websphere Integra..../
If yes, reintstall WBIMB under a shorter path say "c:/WBIMB". This must solve the problem.
