Types of data bag
You can choose the type of data bag that you want to create depending on
the task that you wish to perform:
- user bag
- A simple bag used for user data.
- administration bag
- A bag created for data used to administer WebSphere MQ objects by sending administration
messages to a command server. The administration bag automatically implies
certain options as described in Creating and deleting data bags.
- command bag
- A bag also created for commands for administering WebSphere MQ objects. However,
unlike the administration bag, the command bag does not automatically imply
certain options although these options are available. Again, these options
are discussed in Creating and deleting data bags.
- group bag
- A bag used to hold a set of grouped data items. Group bags cannot be
used for administering WebSphere MQ objects.
In addition, the system bag is created by the MQAI
when a reply message is returned from the command server and placed into a
user's output bag. A system bag cannot be modified by the user.
