Interpreting WebSphere MQ accounting data

 

WebSphere MQ accounting data is written as SMF type 116 records.

WebSphere MQ accounting information can be collected for three subtypes:

0

Message manager accounting records (how much CPU was spent processing WebSphere MQ API calls and the number of MQPUT and MQGET calls). This information is produced when a named task disconnects from WebSphere MQ, and so the information contained within the record might cover many hours.

1

Accounting data for each task, at thread and queue level.

2

Additional queue-level accounting data (if the task used more queues than could fit in the subtype 1 record).

Subtype 0 is produced with trace class 1; subtypes 1 and 2 are produced with trace class 3.
