About WebSphere MQ Messages
You can access WebSphere MQ queues and messages with WebSphere MQ applications by using TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for WebSphere MQ.
The plug-in uses different mechanisms to provide access to these sections.
Message Headers
Get, Put, and Listener activities provide access to WebSphere MQ message headers using the input and output schemas for an activity. The root name mqproperties contains the fields of message headers. Field names used in the mqproperties node generally map to message header field names used in the WebSphere MQ interface for Java. Only applicable fields are exposed in the input and output schema. For example, the accountingToken element is not an input schema field but is an output schema field for the Get activity.
Message Properties
Message properties are a collection of name value pairs that can be sent with a Put activity to a destination, or can be received from a destination for Get and Listener activities. Values for a property are interpreted according to the schema that defines the properties node, and honor the encoding of the message.
