How can I see the list of documents that were published in a given time frame (ex. 03/25/2011 to 03/29/2011)? Do we need to perform some type of configuration to allow this to be possible?
If you are having a logging mechanism in your code that after every document is published if you are tracking this into a DB with few major details then you can query that DB and get the info you want.
You could use the search option in MWS to get the required list of a particular document type and everything that was thrown into the broker at that time.
Their is not direct way to capture information about the documents that published during certain time interval.
You will have to implement your own logging framework to do. Or you can use document history.
