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 an Event Details icon is available. Click the Event Details icon to show all events details.
  • 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. Use this window to copy content to the clipboard, 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 enters or exits out of a component icon. The unique message id is used for these input and output documents.

  • Right-click the output document-link icon to navigate to the timelines of mapped, updated or Confirm BOD messages.
  • Right-click the input document-link icon to navigate to the original timeline. Alternatively, click Refresh to reload the original timeline.

  • You can navigate back to the original timeline by clicking the input or output document-link icon or by reloading the timeline.

  • Click the Refresh icon to manually reload the Timeline.
  • A Legend is available, showing the name of every component displayed. Right-clicking the component icons shows/hides those components from the timeline, with the exception of the document icons.
  • Right-click the split document icon with a counter. A window is displayed showing the sequence numbers of instances after the split. Use this window to see the timeline of the selected instance from the split collection instead of the original timeline. Right-click the input document icon or 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.
