Transaction Selection Criteria Parameters

The following table lists the parameters of the Transaction Selection Criteria panel:

Parameter Description
Display Temp Errors Defines whether the platform server will return temporary errors. By default only permanent errors are returned.

This parameter only applies when an error is retried. When the retries are exhausted, the platform server always writes an audit record when the request is purged from the active queue.

Entry Status

Defines the status of the entry or entries you want to select.

You can either leave this field blank to select all status or specify one of the following options to refine the search:

  • I: view only inactive transactions.
  • H: view only held transactions.
  • A: view only active transactions.
  • L: view only history or logged transactions.
Extended Summary Defines whether to turn the summary screen into 2 lines per transfer.

When you specify Yes, the date and time are added to the information displayed and the local file name is displayed on a separate line.

File name Enter the file name or any part of the file name followed by an asterisk (*) to refine the search.
From date and time

Defines the platform server to search for transactions that were logged at and after this specified date and time (optional). The date and time must be in the formats shown to the right of the entry fields.

Note: This field only applies to history searches.
History/Queue/Both

Defines whether you want to view past transactions that are logged, current transactions that are still in the work queue, or both past and current transactions.

The valid values are as follows:

  • H: view only history transactions.
  • Q: view only transactions in the work queue.
  • B: view both history transactions and transactions in the work queue.
Local userid Enter the local user ID of the user that submitted the transaction or any part of the local user ID followed by an asterisk (*) to refine the search.
Number of Days Defines the number of days back that you want to search.

If you enter a From date and time value, the platform server searches for transactions that were logged at and after the From date and time and goes the specified number of days forward. If you specified a To date and time value, the platform server searches for transactions that were logged at and before the To date and time and goes the specified number of days backward.

Note: The Number of Days filed defaults to 1 day unless you modify the From date and time field.
Process name Enter the process name or any part of the process name followed by an asterisk (*) to refine the search.
Remote system name Enter the remote system name or any part of the remote system name followed by an asterisk (*) to refine the search.
To date and time

Defines the platform server to search for transactions that were logged at and before this specified date. The date must be in the format shown to the right of the entry field.

Note: This filed only applies to history searches.
Transaction number

Defines the transaction number you want to select.

You can either leave this field blank to select all transaction numbers or type part of a transaction number followed by an asterisk (*) to refine the search. For example, I5* only selects the transfers initiated in the month of May.

This field includes the following two subfields:

  • Local: defines the transaction number on the local system.
  • Remote: defines the transaction number of the remote system.
    Note: This parameter is valid only when H is specified in the History/Queue/Both field.
Transfer Exceptions

If you leave this field blank, both successful and unsuccessful transactions are returned.

The valid values are as follows:

  • S: view only successful transactions.

Note: No imbedded spaces are allowed in this field.
