2. Select Fusion Middleware > SOA > User Messaging Service.

3. Select the server or driver of your choice.

   If you select a driver, quick statistics are displayed that indicate the state and performance of the driver.

   If you select a server, you see a list of associated drivers, in addition to the quick statistics. You can select one of the drivers to view its statistics, or you can click the Configure Driver icon to configure it. For more information on configuring drivers, see Chapter 25, "Configuring Oracle User Messaging Service."

26.1.2 Deregistering Messaging Client Applications

   A confirmation box appears asking you to confirm your choice.

4. Confirm your choice.

26.1.3 Monitoring Drivers Using the All Tab

The All tab only lists successfully-registered drivers in the domain (not all drivers that exist).

Since the drivers are not configured out-of-the-box, they are not registered unless you configure them. To ensure that you see all of the drivers in the All tab, configure the SMPP, VoiceXML and XMPP drivers (if you plan to use them). Once configured, they are registered with the engine and are displayed in the All tab.

26.2 Viewing Log Files

You can view log files.

To view log files:

1. Right-click the driver (or server) for which you want to view log information, then choose Logs > View Log Files.

   The Log Messages page appears.

   Use this page to query for log information about a driver (or server). Fields and lists are used to customize the query.

2. After entering your search criteria, click Log Files. The Log Files page appears.
