In the ECC Queue, what is the initial state of output messages when they are inserted?

When output messages are inserted into the ECC Queue, they start in the "Ready" state. This state indicates that the messages are ready to be processed by the appropriate components of ServiceNow. The ECC Queue is designed to handle communication between different components of the platform, and having messages in the "Ready" state means they are queued for execution as soon as the system is able to process them.

Messages in this state will wait for the relevant processing conditions to be met, which includes having the appropriate data handlers or scripts ready to consume and process the messages. Once the processing begins, the messages will transition to a different state, reflecting the progress of their processing.

Understanding the "Ready" state is significant as it forms the basis for tracking the lifecycle of messages in the ECC Queue, highlighting how ServiceNow manages and processes data synchronization between its various applications.
