A business user might want to filter out a message flow based on the Payload. In this blog, you will know how to search for message flows which has a specified Payload.

For demonstration of Monitor Message Flows in Support Package Stack 04, let us consider a very simple scenario to search message flows with specific Payload and view the details.

When you open the application, the Flow Groups page displays a list of flow groups with Filters section on the top along with Variants section.

How to enter the filter parameters

To search a message flow, click on the “Filters” link in the Filters section.



 

You can see many parameters using which you can filter the message flows of our choice.

2. Enter the value of the parameters in the respective fields.

2. Enter a name and click on “OK” button. I have given the name “MMF Demo”.



3. Click of “Go” button, the Filter gets applied.
