Supported Processing Options

WebSphere MQ lets an application designate which message it will process from a designated queue. You can select the messages based on:

• MsgId
• Correlation ID
• Both MsgId and Correlation ID
• No criteria

In each case, the message returned is the first message on the queue that satisfies the selection criteria. If the application is using no criteria, the first message on the queue is returned.

Note: For more information about WebSphere MQ, see the appropriate IBM WebSphere MQ documentation.
