      1. Select the Messages From... To... radio button.
      2. In the Messages From field, enter a date and time in the format MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS AM|PM. For example, you can enter 10/10/07 12:45:00 AM.
      3. In the Messages To field, enter a date and time in the format MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS AM|PM.
      Alternatively, you can select parameters for the most recent messages:

      Note: By default, message reports for the last 30 minutes are displayed.
      Filter by service name
      In the Inbound Service Name field, enter the service name.
      Filter by error code
      In the Error Code field, enter an error code.
      Filter by report index
      In the Report Index field, enter the report indexes. These are the key value pairs you defined when you configured the report action for this proxy service. This is a string search.

    • You can use wildcard characters in service name, error code, and report index field searches.
      • Entering only asterisk (*) returns all messages. For example, if you enter * in the error code field, messages with and without error codes are displayed.
      • In the Error Code field only, strict search limitations apply. For example, to find messages with the error code BEA12345, you can enter *, BE*, or BEA12345.
  2. Click Search. The page displays the messages that fall within the filter parameters you set. The maximum number of messages that can be displayed when filtering messages is 1000.
  3. Click View All to remove the search filters and display all messages.
  4. To locate a message, you can also do the following:
    • Resort the list of messages. Click on an underlined column name. Ascending and descending arrows indicate the sort order. Click the column name to change the sort order.
    • Scroll through the pages. Use the page controls above or below the table. Go to a page by selecting the page number or by using the arrow buttons to go to the next, previous, first, or last page.
