Filtering Messages
Use
You use this function to define specific filter criteria that messages must meet if they are to be displayed in message monitoring.
Defined selection filters can be saved and reused. Saved filters can also be deleted.
You can use selection filters that you have defined and saved for messages from a particular data source for this specific data source only.
