If you choose to delete messages using the date feature in the EM UI, ensure that you do not have more than 2000 messages to be deleted at any given time. If there are more than 2000 messages to be deleted, you will see the following error message:
The specified options result in the deletion of more than 2000 messages. Please narrow your query and try again.
To delete more than 2000 messages, you must use the DB purge script for Oracle database.

Confirm your choice.
3.1.3 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.
3.2 Viewing Log Files
You can view log files.
To view log files:
-
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.

3.3 Viewing Metrics and Statistics
The performance of your applications is reflected in metrics and statistics.
To view metrics and statistics:
-
