To ensure your data is being processed by the appropriate channels, you should first check the logs. Every message that Iguana receives is logged into the database you specified as a success or error under the applicable component.

To check the logs:

• In Iguana, click the Logs tab. The Logs screen appears:

Viewing the Logs

• Under Errors, verify that no errors are listed under any of the source or destination components. In the above example, every message sent to the desired destinations was considered a success.
• Notice that the number of successes in the first channel is equal to the combined number of successes in the second and third channels. The second channel is ignoring all messages that are caught by the IgnoreMessages definition in the VMD file you created in Step 2, and the third channel is ignoring all messages that are caught by the PatientMessages definition.

Although the logs usually indicate whether or not a message was sent successfully, you should also check the database tables for errors.
