Filters, Detail Fields, and Message Context
What this page helps with
Message popups are used to investigate individual CPI message activity in detail. This page explains the most important filters and fields from a user perspective.
Search and time filters
The message view combines free-text search with time selection.
This helps users answer:
- which messages belong to a period
- whether a problem is recent or older
- whether narrowing the time range makes the result manageable
Time selection should usually be refined before adding many advanced filters.
Advanced filters
Advanced filters help narrow the message set by business or technical meaning.
Typical filters include:
- status
- custom status
- package
- iFlow
- sender
- receiver
- correlation-related identifiers
Use advanced filters when a broad list already exists and one specific slice is needed.
Main table context
The table is useful because it combines:
- message context
- source context
- status information
- secondary indicators such as payload or correlation hints
This allows users to see quickly whether a message deserves deeper review.
Important detail fields
The detailed view often includes:
- message ID
- correlation ID
- transaction ID
- application message identifiers
- integration artifact
- sender and receiver
- status and custom status
These fields help users connect one message to a wider business or technical context.
Payloads and attachments
Payloads and attachments are only relevant when they exist and when access rights allow them.
They should be used carefully, because they often carry the most sensitive or verbose information in the whole message flow.
Common mistakes
- starting with too many filters at once
- ignoring the time window and searching across too broad a period
- opening payloads before basic status and correlation context is understood
