Documentation

Definition

Specifies the sequence number transferred with the container.

Use

Message indices exist for every conversation ID. This ensures the containers are processed in the right order. For each conversation ID, the client holds two message indices (also known as sequence numbers): one for inbound messages and the other for outbound messages.

Dependencies

Example

For example, when the framework or application creates an asynchronous container, the outbound message index is incremented and attached to the container.
