Displaying the Message Overview

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 contrast to message search, only messages processed asynchronously are considered in the message overview.

If you do not want to use the message overview you can deactivate it. For more information, see SAP Note 1031773 .

You are in the Monitoring Messages of SAP NetWeaver Administrator and have selected the Message Status Overview tab page. This tab page is available at all navigation levels.

Select the time period you require and start the search.

The system displays the results for the chosen time period in a table. Each row in the table represents the results a set of messages that have the same combination of sender and receiver attributes in the message header data. For each row, you can see the number of messages for the following status groups: scheduled, succeeded, with errors, and canceled with errors.

You can do the following to change the table with results:

• If you want to display the sender and receiver attributes of a row combined together, select the row followed by the Attributes tab page.

• If you want to drill down to the individual statuses for the number of messages in a row, select the row and then choose the Status Values tab page.

  A table with the status group, a description of the individual status, and the number of messages is displayed.

  If permitted by the relevant status, you can Cancel or Retry all messages in that particular status.

• To display the messages in a particular status group, click the message number in the required group and line.

  The system navigates to message monitoring; a list of the corresponding messages is displayed, including all underlying filter settings.

  Note

  Some of the messages for the specified time period might be already archived or deleted at the time of accessing the overview. As a result, the number of messages provided in the overview can be different from the number of messages displayed in the Database tab.

  Depending on the status, you can either retry or cancel individual messages here.
