An introduction to trace-route messaging

Trace-route messaging is a technique that uses trace-route messages to record activity information for a message. Trace-route messaging involves sending a trace-route message into a queue manager network. As the trace-route message is routed through the queue manager network, activity information is recorded. This activity information includes information about the applications that performed the activities, when they were performed, and the operations that were performed as part of the activities. For more information on activity information recorded for trace-route messages, see Trace-route message reference.
