MCF simulation functions simulate message send and receive. Receive messages are created in different MCF receive message files, depending on whether messages are sent and received synchronously or asynchronously.

Asynchronous type receive message files are for simulating asynchronous message send/receive. A single logical message is stored in an asynchronous type receive message file.

Synchronous type receive message files are for simulating synchronous message send/receive. All the logical messages received synchronously during execution of one service are stored in a synchronous type receive message file.

Figure 2-7 outlines simulation of message send/receive.
