An introduction to the WebSphere MQ display route application

The WebSphere MQ display route application (dspmqrte) can be executed on all WebSphere MQ V6.0 queue managers, with the exception of WebSphere MQ for z/OS queue managers. We can execute the WebSphere MQ display route application as a client to a WebSphere MQ for z/OS V6.0 queue manager by specifying the

-c parameter when issuing the

dspmqrte command.

Note:

To run a client application against a WebSphere MQ for z/OS queue manager, the client attachment feature must be installed.

The WebSphere MQ display route application is started by the command dspmqrte, and is used for the following:

• To configure, generate, and put a trace-route message into a queue manager network.

  By putting a trace-route message into a queue manager network, activity information can be collected and used to determine the route that the trace-route message took.

• To order and display activity information related to a trace-route message.

  If the WebSphere MQ display route application has put a trace-route message into a queue manager network, after the related activity information has been returned, the information can be ordered and displayed immediately. Alternatively, the WebSphere MQ display route application can be used to order, and display, activity information related to a trace-route message that was previously generated.

For more information about trace-route messages, see Trace-route messaging.
