Releasing messages of a thread

Using the release option, you can release one or more messages without removing the hold on the thread. You can also hold and release reply messages.

  1. Right-click a thread on the View tab or Grid tab. This opens the thread control context menu, where you can select the Release/Release Reply option.
    Release/Release Reply can also be accessed from the Thread Controls dialog box (Control > Full > Release/Release Reply).
  2. Select release or release reply. This opens the Thread name Release/Release Reply Options dialog box.
    Selecting Release all currently held messages removes the hold on the thread after all the messages in the outbound queue are released.

    When using this option, the command line hcicmd -p <process_name> -c "<thread_name> prls_obd" is appended to the Command Output pane, if it is open.

    Select Release only the first <n> message(s) and keep the thread on hold to specify how many messages to release in the outbound queue and still maintain the hold on the thread.

    When using this option, the command line hcicmd -p <process_name> -c "<thread_name> prls_obd <count of messages>" is appended to the Command Output pane, if it is open. After applying this option, the thread is still in a hold status.

    Use prls_obd count_of_messages to specify the number of messages to release.

    When this option is selected the spinner is enabled, accepting digits from 1 to 9999. If the count is zero or missing, then the command releases the hold.

  3. Click OK to apply the option.
