An introduction to activity recording

Activity recording is a technique that is used to determine the routes messages take through a queue manager network. To determine the route a message has taken, the activities performed on behalf of the message are recorded. When using activity recording, each activity performed on behalf of a message can be recorded in an activity report. An activity report is a type of report message. Each activity report contains information about the application that performed the activity on behalf of the message, when the activity took place, and information about the operations that were performed as part of the activity. For information on activities, and operations, see Activities and operations. Activity reports are typically delivered to a reply-to queue where they are collected together. By studying the activity reports related to a message, the route that the message took through the queue manager network can be determined. For more information on activity information recorded with activity reports, see Activity report reference.
