Message route completeness

In some cases it is not possible to identify the full sequence of activities performed on behalf of a message. If this is the case then only a partial message route can be determined. The completeness of a message route is directly influenced by the queue manager network that the messages are routed through. The way in which the completeness of a message route is influenced depends on the level of the queue managers in the queue manager network, as follows:

WebSphere MQ V6.0 queue managers

MCAs and user-written applications connected to WebSphere MQ Version 6.0 queue managers, can record information related to the activities performed on behalf of a message. The recording of activity information is controlled by the queue manager attributes ACTIVREC and ROUTEREC. If a queue manager network consists of WebSphere MQ V6.0 queue managers only, then complete message routes can be determined.

WebSphere MQ queue managers prior to V6.0

Applications connected to WebSphere MQ queue managers prior to V6.0 do not record the activities that they have performed on behalf of a message. If a queue manager network contains any WebSphere MQ queue manager prior to V6.0, then only a partial message route can be determined.
