Route lines

If two or more of the threads share a part of the same route, then the threads are shown linked by an arrow.

The arrow shows the direction of message flow from thread to thread.

The arrow color represents queue depth. The colors can also be customized to your site through the Choose Thread Color dialog box. This dialog box is accessed by clicking Change on the Depth Colors tab of the Network Monitor Properties dialog box.

Route lines stay visible whether the route line is clicked. To find out more about a route, right-click the route line, and then click Transaction Summary to open the Transaction Summary dialog box. This dialog box shows:

  • The number of messages sent across the route during the current session.
  • The number of messages waiting in queues.
  • The name of the translation thread.
  • The type of translation.
  • The file that contains the translation specifications.
