You can use message types in the following scenarios:

Scenario

Use

Service-Oriented Development

Operations of service interfaces can use the same message type. For example, both an asynchronous operation of an inbound service interface and an asynchronous operation of an outbound service interface can reference the same message type.

Integration Using the Integration Server (A2A, B2B, Web Service)

When you define a message mapping, you can reference message types directly to map messages to each other.

Prerequisites

  • You have already created a data type that you want to reference from your message type.

  • Familiarize yourself with the basics of Message types.
