Defining Static Messages

To use the static method, you define your process types and object types and compile them with the ToolTalk type compiler, tt_type_comp. When you declare your process type, the ToolTalk service creates message patterns based on that type. These static message patterns remain in effect until you close communication with the ToolTalk service.
