If the outbound message type configuration should be inherited from a template external system, define the Template External System. If this field is specified, the outbound message type collection displays the data defined for the template system as display-only.

The Message XSL is the schema used to transform information from the format produced by the system to a format understood by the sender, who receives a message of this type.

Enter the file name of the appropriate W3C Schema if you want to validate the message built for outbound messages for this external system / outbound message type prior to being routed to their destination. Refer to Outbound Message Schema Validation for more information.
