Viewing Running Transactions
If a client has started a transaction on the Broker, that transaction appears on the Transactions tab. The transaction disappears from this tab when the client explicitly ends the transaction.
In many cases, transactions complete too quickly to be viewed in the Transactions tab. However, the list is useful for monitoring the state of long-running transactions and for spotting transactions that have become hung in the system.
*To view transactions running on Broker
1. In My webMethods: Messaging > Broker Server s > Broker s.
2. In the Broker s List, click the Broker whose transactions you want to view. If the Broker does not appear in the list, use the Search tab to locate it.
3. On the Broker Details page, click the Transactions tab. The transaction list at the bottom of this tab displays transactions that are currently running on the Broker.
