RDR-N: Message Header

The Message Header indicates the sender and recipient of the Message.  The sender and recipient are each named and defined by a unique DDEX Party ID (DPID). The Message Header also provides a date & timestamp of when the message was created.

Mandatory Fields

Implementation Notes

• MessageThreadId – set this to the same value as the batch folder name.

• MessageId – set this to an integer value, incremented sequentially for each distinct message.

• MessageFileName – the file name of the message file (including the sequence number in the batch).

• PartyId – both sender and receiver will have a unique PartyId assigned by DDEX (i.e. a DPID) when the implementation license was put in place (free of charge).

• SenderName and RecipientName – the name of the music licensing company or company sending/receiving the message (note these names are within the FullName tags).

• MessageCreatedDateTime – the message creation date and time in ISO 8601 format.

• The ‘LiveMessage’ value declares that this is real data (as opposed to a test).
