Monitor for Message Packages 

Use

You use the monitor for message packages to display information about messages contained in message packages. These are messages that are removed from individual processing for performance reasons, put in packages, and processed as a package.

Integration

You can navigate from the list of messages to the monitor for processed messages, where you can display the individual messages and compare existing versions.

Prerequisites

·        You have used the transaction Define Message Filters (SXMSFILTER) to create a message package and schedule it for processing.

·        You have called transaction Monitor for Message Packages (IDXP), chosen Execute, and are on the screen with the same name.

If there are no messages to be processed in packages, the monitor is not displayed.

You can also call the monitor for message packages from the monitor for queue administration (SMQR) or from the monitor for processed XML messages.

Features

The monitor for message packages provides you with information about messages that have been removed from individual processing using a filter and grouped into packages. The following information is displayed:

·        The status of the message

A message can have the following statuses:

Status	Meaning
(green)	The message is currently being processed.
(yellow)	The message is waiting for the job to assign it to a package.
(red)	The queue containing the message has stopped due to an error in the first queue entry.
(package)	The message has been assigned to a package but the corresponding queue has stopped because it has not been registered or because the scheduler is not active, for example.
(warning)	The message has been manually deleted from its queue.
