Definition

A BOR object type that represents a document with recipient list, that is, the recipients for the next send process. The MESSAGE object represents the actual interface of the Business Communication Interface.

Use

Gradually, the document to be sent can be created, the recipient list can be maintained, and so on. At the end, the finished document is sent to the recipients via the Submit method.

Caution

All changes to a specific instance of a Message object are at first buffered in the main memory only, in order to improve performance. The changes are copied to the database, or a newly created instance becomes persistent, only once the Save method has been called.
