Define Message Types

Message types define the type of data that a message can contain. When a service receives a message, it verifies the message contents against the validation criteria defined in the message type.

Contracts contain a list of message types that are valid for conversations using that contract.

Create or Edit a message type.

Review the following for additional information:
