The main screen of the Monitoring and Error Handling transaction provides an overview of all selected messages, a detailed analysis of one or more selected messages as well as functionality, such as, cancelling messages.

Features

The following views are displayed in standard mode:

  • Data Messages View: Displays all selected data messages in a hierarchy. The messages are grouped by namespace and interface. Optionally, the messages can be grouped by key fields, if these have been defined for an interface.

  • Log Messages View: Displays the messages of the application log.

  • Record Type View: Displays the structure of the message data.

  • Source Data View: Displays the data of the selected message.

If Technical Mode is selected, an additional fifth view is displayed in the Monitoring and Error Handling transaction. This view displays interface processing and some additional buttons are added in the four standard views (for example, for sorting, printing and transforming). Within interface processing, mapping steps and actions of the current interface are displayed. If you select error messages they can be accessed in the log messages view. This enables you to identify, for example, those messages that derived from the value mapping process.

In the main toolbar, the following functions are available:
