IBM® MQ message headers
are defined by five tabbed pages of configuration information.
About this task
To publish a simple message and wait for a response to
be received, only a few of the options under the General tab
need to be set.
Important: If you want to, the MQMD (Message
Queue Message Descriptor) can be configured by using the additional
tabs, including details such as the message and correlation IDs, reporting,
segmentation, and context details. The IBM online WebSphere® MQ product documentation
provides a list of the attributes for each of these tabs. For more
information, see
Message Properties.
