1. Choose the Traffic> Generate Fixed Messages option in one of the available creation wizards.
   • For details on accessing the wizards, see Adding Projects, Virtual Assets, and Responder Suites.

   1. Specify the location of the traffic file in the Traffic file field.
   2. Choose a character encoding for the Character encoding drop-down menu if needed.
   3. (Optional) Specify the service definition file. Providing a service definition helps Virtualize create better message groupings.
   4. Choose a default responder mode in the Response Strategy section (see Response Strategies). 
3. Click Next  and Specify the message grouping option (see Messaging Group Options). 
4. If you specified a service definition, you can enable the Constrain option in the Message Group Creation Options section. If this option is enabled, only the message groups defined in the service definition file will be grouped. All other messages will be ignored. If this option is disabled, Virtualize will group all messages that appear in the traffic file. The Constrain option is enabled by default.
5. If you specified a service definition, you can enable the Empty groups option in the Message Group Creation Options section. If this option is enabled, groups will be created based on a service definition even if the traffic file does not contain messages that match the group criteria. When this option is disabled, groups without messages will not be created. The Empty groups option is set to false by default.
6. (MQ and JMS only) Click Next and specify your MQ or JMS connection settings.
7. Click Next and complete the options in the Message Grouping Review screen (see Message Grouping Review Screen).  
8. Click Next  and specify the name and deployment path for the virtual asset you are creating in the Deploy Virtual Asset screen. See Configuring Individual Virtual Asset Deployment Settings for additional information.
9. Click Finish to create the asset. For XML messages, you can click Next to configure dynamic messages (optional). 
10. Dynamic messages use data extracted from the incoming message to parameterize the response message or header elements. You can complete the Configure Dynamic Messages screen for each operation that you want to parameterize. Click Next after completing each screen to advance to the next operation. For details on how to configure dynamic messages, see Completing the Configure Dynamic Messages Wizard.
