Service Integration Bus Browser Messages

Use this page to view the messages on a message point.

To view this administrative console page, do the following:
  1. Click Service integration > Service Integration Bus Browser.
  2. In the tree pane, expand the bus_name tree and then expand the bus_member subtree.
  3. Expand engine_name and click Queue Points, then click the queue points ID in the Identifier column and click Show Messages.
Note that you can also access messages by clicking the value in the Queue depth column on the Queue Points page.

This page is divided into two sections. The first section contains a collection table that lists each message on the message point. The second part contains Runtime and Message Body tabs that are used to display a selected message and its runtime properties.

To view a message, to browse a message, or to change the displayed message body size, click its name in the Identifier column of the collection table. The Runtime and Message Body tabs at the bottom of the table display all the information for that message.

Note that this page provides a snapshot of the set of messages queued on the message point. Because it is only a snapshot, a listed messages may no longer exist when you attempt to view it or modify its properties.
