3.1.2. Message details

Message Details screen shows you all the details about the processing of a message by Babelway system. It also allows you to make all necessary actions on this message.

You can access it by clicking on its line in the messages list screen, or you can find a specific message by searching for it with a reference like file name, date, etc.

First you will get Short Message Details screen on the right as seen below :

The following information can be available on a message:

Status	The status of the message processing. The possible statuses are:  Processing: Message is being processed by Babelway.  Paused: Message processing was temporarily stopped (because human validation has been requested, because it can only be delivered in specific time frames, ...).  In delivery: Message is being transferred to the target system. This status differs from "In progress" in the sense that the output message is completely generated and available via the interface, but communication of the message to the target system is not yet terminated. The reasons for this delay in the communication can be multiple: We wait for the file being downloaded, or we wait for an acknowledgment, or the target system was unavailable and we will retry later, ...  Success: Message processing is completely finished and action done as requested.  Error: When there was an error in any step of the processing.  Here are some examples of errors:  The received file did not pass the input validations.  The generation of the output file completed successfully, the file was made available for download on Babelway FTP server, but was never downloaded (after X days). This is an error because we know that the file was not received by the end user.  The generation of the output file was completed successfully and the file had to be sent by email to 2 recipients. "One of the deliveries succeeded (and the user) correctly received the message, while the other delivery failed."  The generation of the output file completed successfully and was correctly uploaded to the target system, but we did not receive an expected acknowledgement (or it was not correct).  The processing crashed.  The precise description of the error will always be present in the field "Error description"  Error (closed): This status never indicates an automatic action by the system, it's a subsequent status after you have analyze and fix the error.
Date in	The date and time when the message was received by Babelway.
Date out	The date and time when the processing of the message was completely finished (even if complete processing of the message implied waiting for an acknowledgement from the external system, waiting for download by the client, making retries, etc.).
Processing complete	The date and time when the Babelway processing of the message was finished. This is the moment when the message out is made available to the target system.   This time will differ from "Date out" when the delivery of the file implies waiting for the external target system (ex: waiting for an acknowledgement, waiting for a download, or waiting for the external system availability). "Processing complete" doesn't include this delay while "Date out" includes this delay.
Keep until	The date and time until which the message will be kept in the Babelway system. You can change this setting for your whole environment or by channel.
Message In	Incoming file, as received by the source external system. Click on the file name to open it.   Note: If there is a file name provided in the "Message In" or "Message Out" which contain ~ tilde character, All browser based on Chromium will replace the ~ tilde character by the _ underscore character when you try to download the file from the Babelway interface, For more details you can check this link https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=479419
Message Out	Outgoing file, as sent to the target external system. In case of processing error, this file may be unavailable if the messaging engine was unable to generate it. Click on the file name to open it.   Note: If there is a file name provided in the "Message In" or "Message Out" which contain ~ tilde character, All browser based on Chromium will replace the ~ tilde character by the _ underscore character when you try to download the file from the Babelway interface, For more details you can check this link https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=479419
Error description	When the message couldn't be processed, a text that describes the error's reason.
Type	Message type, can be either Test or Regular.
Test status	Only for test messages. The test status can be either Test failed, Waiting result or Test successful. It should be differentiated from the Status field, that tells if the message has been processed without errors. When you make a test case, you can add complementary assertions on the result of the processed message. This will cause the test to be considered as 'failed' if not fulfilled.
Channel	The channel that processed the message.
Gateway In	Incoming gateway used to receive the input file.
Gateway Out	Outgoing gateway used to process the output file.
Key	A UUID (universal unique identifier) that uniquely identifies a Message.
Reference	Message reference or file name. You can choose this reference.
Gateway in message key	Specific communication-level identifier from the gateway in.
Gateway in message status	Specific communication-level information from the gateway in, like related id's or addressing information of partner systems.
Gateway out message key	Specific communication-level identifier from the gateway out.
Gateway out message status	Specific communication-level information from the gateway out, like related id's or addressing information of partner systems, info about acknowledgments, retries, ...
Size of incoming message	Incoming message size (in bytes).
Size of outgoing message	Outgoing message size (in bytes).
User comment	Free text allowing the user to comment on a message. It can be changed anytime from the SelfService applicaiton as well as during in the processing of any message.

Note: You can populate the user_comment system metadata in the transformation using setMetadata('user_comment', 'Replace this text with the text you want to use as a user comment or you can map it from a field from the Message In'), as shown below.

The section Internal files also gives you access to internal data about the processing of the message. This information can be useful to investigate some problems, or to understand the behavior of the system. Two categories of internal files exist: The step files and the other files.

The step files represent the evolution of the message content from the message IN to the message OUT. After each modification of the message's content, a new step file is created. Here is the complete list of possible types of step files:

Message IN after transformation to XML	The message IN after its conversion to an internal XML representation.
Message IN after XSLT transformation	The XML message IN after the XSLT based extra-processing.
Message after transformation	The XML message after its transformation.
Message OUT after XSLT transformation	The XML message OUT after the XSLT based extra-processing.
Message OUT after transformation from XML	The message OUT after its conversion from the internal XML representation.

Changes done in release of November 2015

• The status Waiting ack has been merged to In progress, because the delivery of the message is not complete. Example: Waiting for the file being downloaded by the client.

• A message may no longer stay forever in the status In progress. The message processing can only be ended in statuses Success or Error. When applicable, it means that a timeout will terminate the message (for example if a file is not downloaded on a FTP server after X days).

• Dates and times associated with a message have been reviewed. The available date and times are now Message reception time, End processing time, End processing sla time and Keep until. See full description of all fields of messages for a full description of every field.

• Field Acknowledgment reference has been removed. This information is now available in the field Gateway out message status

• All intermediate files generated during the processing are now saved and are downloadable. This is for example very useful to debug your messages when you have many extra processings (wrappers or unwrappers, replacements based on regular expressions, ...), as you will now have access to the result after each step.
