Use this page to view the messages on a message point.
This page is divided into two sections. The top section contains a collection table that lists each message on the message point. The bottom 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.
Links marked (online) require access to the Internet. Each link launches a search for the topic in the online information center. When search results are listed, select the topic that corresponds best to your configuration.
