Understanding Managing Container Messages

Container messages are used for those situations where you want to produce XML that contains none of the standard PeopleSoft messaging XML structures, such as PSCAMA, FieldType, and so on, yet you want to use PeopleSoft rowset-based classes and methods to populate and read the message structure.

Container messages:

• Hold one or more message parts.

• Are always nonrowset-based messages.

The message parts you add to a container message must all be rowset-based message parts, or all nonrowset-based message parts.

When working with container messages that contain rowset-based message, PeopleSoft Integration Broker enables you to add attributes and attribute values to the container messages. Adding attributes to container messages enables you to provide integration partners with data and information, without the need to modify or provide the information in the container message definition or in any of the part message definitions.
