Metadata Table

This table shows metadata (such as ID, status, and timestamps) about the messages that match your current search window. The number of messages shown in the table at once is determined by the Page Size option (see Search Messages for additional information about the Page Size option). When you first enter the Message Browser, by default the latest 20 messages (by ID) appear. Messages are organized by ID, and multiple rows for each connector message appear in the table, depending on your search criteria.

Message Browser Tasks

The following context-specific tasks are available from the Message Browser View: Task Icon Task Name Description Refresh Updates messages within the current search page. Note that this is different from selecting the Search button. The Search operation performs a completely new search without a Max Message Id and resets the count and pagination options. The Refresh task re-performs the search using the existing Max Message Id, so that no new messages since the last Search will be included. Also, it preserves the current page being viewed instead of reverting back to the first page. Send Message Sends a message to the current channel. For additional information, see Send Message. Import Messages Imports messages from a file. Note that imported messages are only directly stored in the channel's message data, and not actually processed through the channel. For additional information, see Import Messages. Export Results Exports all messages that match the current search criteria. Note tha
