Hi

I am new to MQ.

My correlation ID contains spaces and low-values. Is it acceptable? What i want to know is, correlation ID is a hexadecimal field or an alphanumeric field?

Thanks

It's a binary data field (or in your terms hexadecimal). It is not translated when messages cross platforms.

As the previous poster said, it's a hex field so you can set it to any value, including that which is used to represent a space on your platform.

But there are any number of posts in here discussing why treating the correl id & the message id as strings (i.e. containing spaces instead of hex values) is a BAD idea. They are not strings even if it's possible to obtain a string representation of them. Do not treat them as strings.

There are an equivalent number of posts discussing why setting these values by hand is a bad idea. Do not do this lightly and read the discussions first.
