TypeCode is the code specified how to compose an aritifact.
For example, you can compose the artifact from URI of source site 
location instead of 20-bytes-SourceID.
If you want to do so, you have to configure '0x0002' as TypeCode.

See "Bindings and Profiles for SAML" ,Section 9
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/security/docs/cs-sstc-bindings-01.
pdf

TypeCode := 0x0002
RemainingArtifact := AssertionHandle SourceLocation
AssertionHandle := 20-byte_sequence
SourceLocation := URI
