Correlating replies

 

In WebSphere MQ applications, when a program receives a message that asks it to do some work, the program usually sends one or more reply messages to the requester. To help the requester to associate these replies with its original request, an application can set a correlation identifier field in the descriptor of each message. Programs then copy the message identifier of the request message into the correlation identifier field of their reply messages.
