Message classification

At today’s MTF meeting, I volunteered to take a stab at different ways of summarizing the messages to provide clarity on the relationships between them.

I’ve attached a first cut.

On the message list tab, I added a column for the corresponding correction and cancellation/retraction message for each request. I’ve filled this column with the message name if it exists, with “n/a” if it was clear that no correction or cancellation was possible (e.g. to a failure return or to a correction), and with “?” if I suspect that a message may be missing or I wasn’t sure. I’ve also hidden all of the rows with correction or cancellation messages for the moment.

I’ve also added a summary cross-tab, which summarizes request and notification messages by business event and processing stage, for your comments.

Regards,

Brian
