As shown in the screenshot below, the View Rules tab provides the following information for the instance:

• Permissions defined for the rule.

In your example, you need to follow following pattern.

After the queue has been created, the queue name is appended to the namespace and is displayed on the UI.

On the Queues tab, you can view

• Number of messages in each queue.

• Size (in kilobytes) of all the messages in each queue.

If you want to delete the salesorder queue, you can delete the queue using delete a queue icon.

CAUTION: Deleting a queue also deletes any associated queue subscriptions and any messages that are in the queue.

Service enables a sending application to publish messages and events to a topic. Applications must be subscribed to that topic, and be active when the message is sent. Topics do not retain messages.

Create a queue subscription if you want to retain messages that are sent to a topic.

In this example, subscribe queue salesorder to the s4hanasalesorder topic.

1. Click on the Show subscriptions for this queue icon under Actions.

2. The Queue Subscription screen is displayed. Create the s4hanasalesorder topics.

Below screen displays how to create a topic and once a topic is created how is it displayed.

1. This queue can only subscribe to topics that follow the rules defined in the service descriptor

2. An external source can publish messages to the topic. Messages can only be consumed from the queue.

3. Multiple queues can subscribe to one topic. In this case, the same message is published to all the subscribed queues.

4. One queue also can be associated with multiple topics. In this case, any message that is published to all these topics is stored in the subscribed queue.

You can delete a topic using the delete icon.
