Message Descriptor properties
Where a WebSphere MQ application is the originator of a message and WebSphere MQ generates the
- AccountingToken
- CorrelationId
- GroupId
- MessageId
you are recommended to use the AccountingTokenHex, CorrelationIdHex, GroupIdHex, and MessageIdHex properties if you want to look at their values, or manipulate them in any way - including passing them back in a message to WebSphere MQ. The reason for this is that WebSphere MQ generated values are strings of bytes that have any value from 0 through 255 inclusive, they are not strings of printable characters.
Where your MQAX script is the originator of a message and you generate the
- AccountingToken
- CorrelationId
- GroupId
- MessageId
we can use either the AccountingToken, CorrelationId, GroupId, or MessageId properties or their Hex equivalents.
