Message descriptor

 

A WebSphere MQ message consists of control information and application data. The control information is defined in a message descriptor structure (MQMD) and contains such things as:

• The type of the message

• An identifier for the message

• The priority for delivery of the message

The structure and content of the application data is determined by the participating programs, not by WebSphere MQ.
