Column Description
EXTERN_MSG_ID The unique identifier for the message.
MSG_TYPE The message type or category as defined in the External Messaging Agent configuration file, inserverEM.ini.
MSG_NAME The message name as defined in the External Messaging Agent configuration file, inserverEM.ini.
MSG_DIRECTION The direction of the message.

1 = inbound

0 = outbound

MSG_STATUS Describes the status of the message. External Messaging Agent updates the status as it processes the message.

0 - UNDEFINED Indicates the message is new. This status prevents messages from processing before properties are set.

1 - NEW The message is ready to be processed by the agent.

2 - BEING_PROCESSED The agent has stored the message into memory and is processing it.

3 - COMPLETE The script successfully processed the message.

4 - COMPLETE_WITH_ERROR The script failed to process the message.

999 - STATUS_LOCKED The agent is reading the message from the external table. This status occurs before BEING_PROCESSED.

Note: The iScript can signal that it was unable to successfully process the message by calling setSuccess(false); However, the script will not be retried again.
START_TIME The time the external system inserted the message, based on the external system local time.
END_TIME The time the external system stopped inserting the message, based on the external system local time.

This will be updated by the agent and does not need to be populated by the external system.
