Display of Process Message Lists

You can display lists of process messages on the overview screen of the message monitor: see Accessing the Message Monitor .

You can also print these lists: see Printing Lists of Process Messages .

All messages that exist within process management can be displayed in the monitor. You can reduce the scope of the list using the following selection criteria:

Maintenance data of the messages such as creation time and sender
The plant, message category, and process order for which the messages were created
The processing status of the messages
An indicator for productive messages or test messages

Note Note

The process order can only be used as a criterion for selecting a message if the characteristic PPPI_PROCESS_ORDER is contained in the message.

End of the note.

In the monitor, all messages are displayed with their creation time, message category, sender and send status. The messages are highlighted using different colors according to their status so that you can quickly spot those where an error occurred. For detailed information on the errors, you need to refer to the corresponding message logs (see Process Message Logs ).

The following table lists possible message statuses and their meaning:

Icon	Status	Meaning
( )	To be sent	The process message is created but has not yet been sent to its destinations.
( )	Sent	The process message has been sent to its destinations.
( )	Sent with warning	The message log contains a warning message. The process message has been sent to its destinations despite the warning.
( )	To be resubmitted	One of the message destinations was temporarily not available. Whether the message was sent to its other destinations depends on the processing type defined in Customizing; see Process Message Checks .
( )	To be resubmitted with warning	One of the message destinations was temporarily not available. Additionally, a warning message was issued by one of the other destinations to which the message was sent.
( )	Message incomplete	The process message does not contain all required characteristics of the message category. It has not been sent.
( )	Destination error	The process message could not be processed by one of its destinations. Whether the message was sent to its other destinations depends on the processing type defined in Customizing; see Process Message Checks .
( )	Processing terminated	The processing of the message was terminated due to an error. The message has not been sent to any of its destinations.

Note Note

If a process message is to be sent to an external system, its status is set to Sent or Sent with warning as soon as the message has been transferred to the corresponding tRFC (transactional remote function call). The execution of a tRFC is documented in a log which you can access from the message monitor (see Displaying Transactional RFC Logs for Messages ).
