Viewing Messages

The Messages tab of the PIX Console allows you to view information about the messages that are processed through the PIX/PDQ Manager. You can view the processing flow of the message through PIX/PDQ components, and you can view the content of the input message and any other messages that are generated by the PIX/PDQ Manager components. The PIX Console also lets you view the additional component information, called extensions, to correlate specific component instance with messages. For example, you can view the BPEL process instance ID along with the corresponding message control ID.
