Monitoring

You can monitor the MSIF transfer services by registering to receive the event messages that they issue. Normally, the MSIF transfer services issue an event message only when an event such as a processing error occurs. However, you can specify that the MSIF transfer service is also to issue an event message when:

It executes a processing step for a scenario or a command
It changes the state or condition of a scenario

This is helpful when testing a newly activated the MSIF transfer service.

You can issue a list command to the MSIF command service to display the transfer state and other information about a particular message or file transfer, unless that information was removed from the database as described in Housekeeping. The response to such a command looks like this:
