If you are a member of the Administrators role, you can resubmit a message from the Iguana logs.

	New Feature in Iguana 4.1 In Iguana 4.1, the process of resubmitting a message has been expanded and streamlined. The ability to preview a message has been added, and the message can be viewed in text or hexadecimal format. In addition, resubmission of messages is now immediate. If necessary, the channel is started to send the resubmitted message.

To resubmit a message:

• Click the Logs tab to display the list of log messages.
• Scroll through the list of log messages until you locate the message that you want to resubmit, or use the search feature to find it.

	When you are locating a message, the following shortcut keys may be useful: Ctrl+Home displays the most recent log message that matches the current search criterion. Ctrl+End displays the oldest log message that matches the current search criterion. See Searching the Logs for more information on specifying a search criteria for the Iguana logs.

• Click the log message to view the log message details screen:

• Click to display the log message resubmit screen:

• From the Resubmit To Channel list box, select the channel to which you want to resubmit the message.
• In the Edit panel, edit the message if necessary. As you edit the message, the changes you make are displayed in the Preview panel.
• Click Resubmit to resubmit the message, or click Cancel to return to the log message details screen.

	New Feature in Iguana 4.5 Displaying the Edit and Preview panels simultaneously is new in Iguana 4.5. This makes message resubmission easier.

What appears in the Preview panel depends on the destination component of the channel to which you are sending the message. If the channel has a destination component of To Database, the Preview panel displays the SQL command that will be sent to the database:

For channels with a destination component other than To Database, the message to be resent is displayed in Segment View format:

	If your channel has a To Plugin destination component, you will not be able to preview the message that you want to resubmit unless the channel and the plugin are running.

You can control how the message is to be displayed in the Preview panel. The option buttons available depend on the destination component of the channel to which you are resubmitting the message. The following table describes these options:

Button	View Mode	Description
	Hex-dump	View the log message in hexadecimal format.
	Plain-text	View the log message in text format.
	Segment View	View the segments that are defined in this message. This is the default for all messages except those being sent to channels whose destination component is To Database.
	Segment Grammar View	View the segments in the segment grammar of the message definition that processed this message. This view mode is available only if this is a message that is being resubmitted to a channel whose destination component is To Database.
	Table View (Graphical)	Parse the message and view the generated tables in graphical format. This button only appears if this message is being resubmitted to a channel whose destination component is To Database.
	Table View (Plain-text)	Parse the message and view the generated tables in text format. This button only appears if this message is being resubmitted to a channel whose destination component is To Database.
	SQL View	Parse the message and view the SQL statements that add this message to the database. This button only appears if this message is being resubmitted to a channel whose destination component is To Database. In this case, this view is the default for the Preview panel.

	Before you resubmit a message, you must restart the channel to which you are resubmitting the message if either of the following is true: The channel has a destination component of To Database and you have edited the VMD file that this destination component uses to parse message data and map it into database tables. The channel uses a filter, the filter is applied after the original message is logged, and you have edited the VMD file that performs the filtering. For example: if you have updated your VMD file to add a column to a table in your database, data will not be loaded into this column until the channel is stopped and restarted.

You must have administrative permissions to resubmit a log message.

You must be a member of the Administrators role to resubmit a log message. See Creating a Role for more information on roles in Iguana.
