Message collections

Multiple messages with the same message name are processed to present the correct message or messages to the user.

When multiple messages with the same message name are received into Global Mailbox, how they are handled depends on the following criteria:
  • Which application created this mailbox
  • Whether that application supports duplicate messages (a setting in the application)
    • If yes, lists all messages that match that message name, in the default order
    • If no, lists the most recently created message with the message name
    • If switched to No after previously setting Yes, lists the most recently created message with the message name

To support the feature of having messages with the same names, set the property com.ibm.mailbox.messages.allowDuplicates. This property is specified per application. Valid values are true and false (default). To specify a value for the property, use the command-line application registration utility. By default the property is set to false during installation. You can update the configuration later as required.

To update the property, enter the following command: 

./appConfigUtility.sh updateAppConfig --appName=Sterling Integrator Instance 1 --Pcom.ibm.mailbox.messages.allowDuplicates=true
(Linux® or UNIX)
appConfigUtility.bat updateAppConfig --appName=Sterling Integrator Instance 1 --Pcom.ibm.mailbox.messages.allowDuplicates=true
(Windows)
