These relate to the corresponding concepts/properties in MQ Series, for more details read the IBM documntation on MQ Series. In oversimplified terms:
  • priority is the message priority - a number that indicates how important the message is

    sequence is simply a unique number of the message, but can also be used to unpack multi-part messages in the correct order

    correlation id is the identity of the message associated with the current one, for example the message to which the current one is a reply

    put date and time are when the current message was sent

    group id is an indicator of the fact that the current message belongs in a group of messages - all messages in this group have the same group id

    offset is a byte offset from the beginning of the message where the text begins
