Use

You can use the message monitor to find archived messages, display their content, and compare the different message versions. You can find archived messages either by searching the archive, or by performing an advanced search for messages that match specific search criteria.

Prerequisites

The system has been set to archive messages. You can do this by choosing the interfaces whose messages have to be archived and then scheduling the corresponding archiving jobs. For more information, see Defining Interfaces and Retention Periods for Archiving and Archiving and Deleting .

Procedure

  2. On the Integration Engine: Monitoring. screen, choose Archived XML Messages (Search Using Archive) .
