Origin context

 

Origin context information describes the application that put the message on the queue on which the message is currently stored. The message descriptor contains the following fields for origin context information:

PutApplType The type of application that put the message (for example, a CICS transaction).
PutApplName The name of the application that put the message (for example, the name of a job or transaction).
PutDate The date on which the message was put on the queue.
PutTime The time at which the message was put on the queue.
ApplOriginData Any extra information that an application wants to include about the origin of the message. For example, it could be set by suitably authorized applications to indicate whether the identity data is trusted.

Origin context information is usually supplied by the queue manager. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used for the PutDate and PutTime fields. See the descriptions of these fields in the Application Programming Reference.

An application with enough authority can provide its own context. This allows accounting information to be preserved when a single user has a different user ID on each of the systems that process a message that they have originated.
