Message status values

To change the status of a message, select the Change Status action in the Message Reprocessing application. The system designates a status to each message to indicate whether it is ready for processing.

A message can have a status of RETRY or HOLD:

Status Description
RETRY The message is ready to be reprocessed by the system.
HOLD The message is not ready to be reprocessed by the system.

The RETRY status is the default status for messages that are flagged with an error. Until you correct the processing problem, the system continues to reprocess the message according to the configured queue retry count. When the retry count condition is met, the system changes the messages status to HOLD.

You can halt message reprocessing by changing the message status to HOLD. A hold status prevents the system from reprocessing the flagged message and from updating the system database tables.
