Conversation ID (convID)
This property is an 8-byte time stamp (a hexadecimal string) that uniquely identifies an IMS™ conversation.
When the useConvID property is set to true:
- The IMS TM resource adapter returns this conversation ID to the Java™ client as part of the output message for each iteration of a conversation.
- The conversation ID is assigned by IMS and set in the response message header at the end of the first iteration of the conversation.
- The Java client is responsible for passing this conversation ID in the input for all subsequent iterations in order for IMS Connect to process all iterations of a conversation that comes in from shareable persistent socket connections.
Restriction: This property is supported for only
SYNC_SEND_RECEIVE and SYNC_END_CONVERSATION interaction verbs. It
is ignored for other interaction verbs. For restrictions that apply
to the use of conversation ID, see the topic on "Conversational transactions
for business process choreography."
