This table describes the icons in the header of the message content window:

Format

Use this button to apply formatting to the original content for easy reading. You can restore the original content by clicking the icon another time. When the content is formatted, the icon color is blue.

Notes: The original content is shown by default. The original content can look formatted. The button is hidden if formatting is not applicable.

Download

Use this button to download the original content to view it locally. This is helpful when the content is available but cannot be displayed for any reason, such as size or binary format.

Notes: The original content is downloaded even if the payload was formatted by a user. The button is hidden when the document is not retrieved, was empty or purged.
Close Use this button to close the window.

The information available at the bottom of the window:

  • Document Name

  • File Type*

  • Message Size**

  • Counter of instances

*The file type displayed in the message content pop-up window matches the current format type in Data Catalog, not the type of the data at the time of publishing. If you update the data format in the settings of AnySQL Connection Point in ION and ION generates metadata, the new file type is used in the message content window for the already published data.

**Only one size is available for the payload content. The label clarifies, which size was used – compressed or original.

The compressed size that is displayed can deviate from the compressed size of when the message was delivered to or delivered by ION. This is because compression ratios can differ based on the used technique.
