Types of data item available in the MQAI
Data items are used by the IBM MQ Administration Interface (MQAI) to populate data bags when they are created. These data items can be user or system items.
These user items contain user data such as attributes of objects that are being administered. System items should be used for more control over the messages generated: for example, the generation of message headers. For more information about system items, see System items and the MQAI.
Types of Data Items
When you have created a data bag, we can populate it with integer or character-string items. You can inquire about all three types of item.
The data item can either be integer or character-string items. Here are the types of data item available within the MQAI:
