Origin of a message
Message path
Messages can originate in different locations in PCS 7 depending on the configuration. Each
message is given a time stamp. The event which causes a time stamp to be assigned to a
message depends on the place where the message has originated. Irrespective of where they
originate, all messages are handled in the same way in regard to how they are displayed and
archived on the PCS 7 OS.
