Displaying the Message Overview

Use

You can obtain an overview of the number of messages that are in a certain processing status in a specific time period. The overview has the following features:

  • The overview provides statistical information about the number of messages processed within the specified time period.

    Consider that the statistical information shown does not reflect the current situation with messages. It only shows the number of processed messages for the specified time period. At the time of displaying the overview some or all of the messages can be already archived or deleted. Correspondingly, you would not find these messages in the Database tab of the message monitor.

  • The time period for the overview always refers to the receipt of the message.

  • In the message overview asynchronous messages are displayed by default. Synchronous messages are only displayed if logging was activated for them.
