Adding messages to queues is performed on the Add new message to: queue_name dialog. 

You get to this window in one of two ways:

• Click the Put New button from a Message viewlet.
  
• Or, select Messages > Put New from a queue's Action menu.
  

The instructions below explain how to add a message from the queue's pop-up action menu.

1. Within the queue viewlet, select the queues you want to put messages on. From the pop-up action menu, select Messages > Put New Message.
2. On the General tab of the Add new message to: queue_name dialog, enter the following details:

• • Number of Messages:  Enter the number of messages to put into a queue. In the example below, “Sample test message” is entered as the message and a quantity of ten will be added to both queues.
  • Message Size (bytes):  Displays the size of the message text being entered or created in the Data field.
  • File attachment:  Enter the path of the file to attach to the message.
  • Data:  Within the Data section, select the message data type (text, hex XML or JSON). Check the Text only checkbox to display the message content as text only.  Unchecking Text only will display the message content with offsets which increases the load on the browser and should be used only for small messages. The message encoding type can be changed by using the Encoding list. 

3. (TIBCO EMS messages.) Select the Headers tab. Add headers as Key-Value pairs:
   1. Enter the Header Name and its corresponding Value.
   2. Click . 
4. Click Ok.
5. Messages are now added to each of the selected queues. 

Viewing the put messages

1. Click on one of the queues you put messages on.

2. A new viewlet opens within the Console panel and displays all of the selected queue’s messages. 

3. Select one of the messages to view more details.

4. The View message window opens. You can see details such as the format of the message (Hex, Text, XML, or JSON). You can also see whether there are message properties (view these by clicking the MsgProp button).

5. Click Cancel to return to the dashboard. Using the buttons located at the top left of the viewlet, you can perform actions such as editing, deleting and moving messages.
