Message Status

The message is in transit between its sender and the appropriate queue. This is the first stage in the normal life cycle of a message.

The message is on a queue. This is the second stage in the normal life cycle of a message.

The intended recipient has received the message. This is the third stage in the normal life cycle of a message.

The intended recipient has received the message and has finished processing the message. This is the fourth stage in the normal life cycle of a message.

This status applies only to response messages.

A business operation can defer a message response for later delivery. The response can be picked up and sent back to the original requester by any business host in the production. Between the time when the business operation defers the response, and when the response is finally sent, the response message has a status of Deferred.

The sender of the original message is unaware of the fact that the message was deferred. If the original call was synchronous, the call does not return to the sender until the response is sent.

When the response message is finally sent, it has a status of Completed.

A response message becomes Discarded if it reached its destination after the timeout period for the corresponding request expired.

You can also manually mark a message as Discarded, which you might do for a suspended message that cannot be delivered for some reason.

Note that a message that is marked as Discarded still remains in the permanent store; messages are deleted only when you explicitly delete them.

The message was suspended by the business operation after failing to reach its external destination or was manually suspended by an administrator. Note that some business operations are designed to set the status of any failed messages to Suspended.

In either case, you can view this message within the Management Portal to determine why it failed and you can resend it if appropriate. For example, if the problem is on the external side of the communication, the external system can be repaired, and then the message can be resent. You could also discard it or even delete it.

The message was aborted by an administrator.

The message encountered an error.
