Description

Resolution:
Every delivery-tracking transport stores the state of its certified communications in a ledger, which is stored either in a ledger file, or in memory.  The size of the ledger depends on several factors - the most important of which is the retention rate of stored data.  That is, the ledger grows fastest in response to the cumulative length of incompletely delivered messages.  It contains the contents of all not-yet-confirmed messages for all certified listeners.  Even if some of the listeners confirm the delivery of the messages, the ledger file of a publisher might not be able to remove them since there might be some other certified listeners that haven't confirmed the receipt of these messages.  The API provides calls, which will allow you to examine the state of the ledger file.  For more information, see the API manual for your implementation language.
