Chapter 1 The TIBCO Object Service Broker Administrator’s Workbench : Messaging Mechanisms

Messaging Mechanisms
TIBCO Object Service Broker provides two types of messaging mechanisms from the workbench:
Broadcast Message
The broadcast message is used to convey a message to all users when they first log in to TIBCO Object Service Broker. It appears at the bottom of the workbench next to the time when the user first logs in to the system. As an administrator you use this field to display a message of interest to users.
The message text for the broadcast message is obtained from the BROADCAST table, which is a shared TIBCO Object Service Broker table. The occurrence with the highest primary key appears on the workbench. If the table is empty, the message No broadcast available appears. Users can see the complete table by pressing PF2 before starting another transaction in their current TIBCO Object Service Broker session.
Example
The following screen shows an occurrence from the BROADCAST table:

 
--- SINGLE OCCURRENCE EDITOR ---
EDITING TABLE : BROADCAST
TABLE TYPE : TDS v
COMMAND ==>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NUMBER : 16841
TEXT : Promotion scheduled for 2000-03-16 at 19:50:15
:
 
PFKEYS: 1=HELP 2=DOCUMENTATION 3=SAVE 12=CANCEL 13=PRINT 22=DELETE

 
Message Log
Message logs are used to convey information to you when you are processing a rule. TIBCO Object Service Broker maintains two message logs:
The System Log
When a rule fails in its execution and the exception is not handled, error messages and debugging information for that transaction are supplied in the system log. Using the information from the system log, you can make corrections to your rule so that it can execute successfully.
The User Log
The user log contains messages generated by rules. It contains the output generated by a transaction (parent) and its descendant (child) transactions. Only output from the most recent transaction is available to display, as output from the previous transaction is cleared when a new transaction begins.
Messages from the system log appear first when PF2 is pressed; pressing PF2 again displays the user log. If there is no message in the system log, the user log appears after the first PF2 command.
