ActionMessage Property

Whether or not this message is an action message.

Data Type

Default Value

Remarks

This property indicates whether or not the message is an action message. A RosettaNet action is defined as a message which requires or requests a business activity. A "PurchaseOrderRequestMessage" is a valid Business Action message, as is the corresponding "PurchaseOrderConfirmMessage". The latter, however, is also a reply to the original action request.

Receipt acknowledgments are considered Signals, and not Business Action messages, even though they contain all of the properties of a valid Business Action message.

This property is a field of the service header.

This property is not available in the Receiver.
