Values

pattern is the message exchange pattern to use for the current operation.

Valid values for pattern are:

• Publish
  Asynchronous communication using the JMS, SOAP, or MQ protocol.
  Operations using the Publish protocol are one-way and do not block for a reply, as no reply will be returned by the target workload.
• Request
  Synchronous communication using the HTTP, SOAP, or MQ protocol. Operations using the Request mep are two-way and blocked until a reply is sent by the target workload.

There is no default; a value must be passed.
