In the case of incoming messages, EMS picks up the incoming messages and inserts it into a data store. If the incoming message has a PDE trailer (message contains the text ‘PDE:’} then the system will mark the process status as ‘Stopped due to PDE’. After due validations, you can release the message from the incoming PDE message queue. Once these messages are accepted it will continue to get uploaded as a normal message. If the PDE trailer is NOT present in the incoming message, then the message upload will continue as normal.

In the case of incoming messages with a PDE trailer, the ‘PDE Flag’ check box in the ‘Incoming Message Browser’ screen will be checked.

For more details on the PDE indication of an incoming message in the Incoming Message Browser, refer section ‘Viewing the details of an Incoming Message’ in ‘Processing Incoming Messages’ chapter of this User Manual.
