Timeline View provides these capabilities:

  • You can view the components triggered by the message within ION.
  • Click the component icon to view the summary information about each triggered component. The component Properties and the Events logged by this component are shown. The selected component is highlighted, and Events tab is expanded. The summary of the events is shown in ascending order of event date. If you select any event, then details of that event are displayed. Click on the Back button to navigate to the Events list.
  • You can view summary information about each message handled (original, mapped, updated and Confirm BOD). Selected message is highlighted.
  • You can view the content of the messages that are handled during the timeline using the tab labeled Content on the right side after selecting the document. See Message Content Window.
  • You can drill-down to the details of the selected component to see configuration and runtime information. Use the available hyperlinks in the component's properties section.

    Details to drill-down are explained in "Drill down to Desk pages".

  • The document-link icon is used to navigate to the input document timeline.

  • You can navigate to the previous message ID timeline by left/right clicking the input document-link icon.
  • Click Refresh to reload the original Timeline.
    • The new timeline supports multi-level views up to five levels. After reaching this limit, you can click Show More to view additional levels. The Show More option provides access to the next 5 levels.
    • In cases of parallel flows, the timeline shows 5 branches initially and you can click on Show More to access next 5 branches. In case of horizontal flows, the timeline shows 5 levels and a 6th document icon with Show More link next to it.
  • A Legend is available, showing the name of every component displayed.
  • When using Document Split, you see the sequence numbers of instances after the split with timeline of first split instance by default and when you change the instance, the timeline of first instance gets updated by selected instance. Click Refresh to return to the timeline of the original document.
  • You can obtain a complete number of instances in the same batch id for a selected document name.

    Complete these steps:

    • Use the search filter Batch ID to find the messages for the specified batch id.
    • In the message timeline click the Document icon.
    • Find the Batch ID property in the timeline properties for the selected document.
    • Click the Count instances in batch link under the batch id value.

    An In Flight indicator means that the complete number of instances is higher, all the messages within that batch are not currently available.

    A Warning indicator means that, the batch was aborted. All the messages within that batch are not available.

    If the link is hidden, counting is not possible. See Messages for selected document.
