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.
