Browsing a Forwarding Queue
To view the contents of a forwarding queue for remote Broker, you browse the queue. When you browse a forwarding queue, you retrieve a list of documents from the queue. For each document, My webMethods displays the acknowledgement status of the document, the document size, and the document sequence number.
For example, you might want to browse a forwarding queue to verify whether a sales order was routed to the proper remote Broker. Or, if a remote Broker continually crashes when attempting to process a document from its forwarding queue, you might want to browse the queue to obtain more information about the document and possibly delete the document.
By using My webMethods you can browse both unlocked, and locked forwarding queues.
