View messages in a link receiver queue for a connection between two buses

We can view messages in a link receiver queue that is associated with a foreign bus connection from one service integration bus to another service integration bus. We must know the link receiver on which messages are to be viewed. A service integration bus link can have multiple link receivers. For applications that use point-to-point messaging, there is one link receiver for each messaging engine in the foreign bus, that is, the bus that sends messages through the link. For applications that use publish/subscribe messaging, there is one link receiver for each topic space in the foreign bus.

In this situation, the bus with the link receiver is the local bus. The bus that the applications that produce messages are connected to is the foreign bus.

Complete this task when to view messages on a link receiver.
