Oracle Streams - Understanding message limit on getMessages

Content

Hi All,

I'm using Oracle Stream as a way of passing messages between applications.  I'm doing some discovery work initially to understand the streams API.

I have a stream created and currently I am posting test messages to the stream. 

In my OIC Integration I'm using the standard streaming API to Create a cursor (Group Cursor), then using the getMessages api to retrieve messages.

On the getMessages API, I originally mapped  a value of 100 to the limit, so that the getMessages API will return up to 100 messages in an array, then I loop round the array processing each message.
