Trace files

During the installation process, we can choose the drive on which trace files are to be located. The trace files are always placed in the directory\<mqmwork>\trace, where <mqmwork> is the directory selected when WebSphere MQ was installed to hold WebSphere MQ data files.
Trace files are named AMQppppp.qq.TRC, where:

ppppp Is the process identifier (PID) of the process producing the trace.
qq Starts at 0. If the full filename already exists, this value is incremented by one until a unique trace filename is found. A trace filename can already exist if a process is reused.

The process identifier can contain fewer, or more, digits than shown in the example.
There is one trace file for each process running as part of the entity being traced.
