Controlling trace-route messaging

Enable trace-route messaging at the queue manager level, so that applications in the scope of that queue manager can write activity information to a trace-route message. To enable an entire queue manager network, individually enable every queue manager in the network for trace-route messaging. If you enable more queue managers, more activity reports are generated.


Before you begin

If you are using activity reports to record activity information for a trace-route message, refer to Controlling activity recording.


To record activity information for a trace-route message as it is routed through a queue manager, perform the following steps:


Procedure

  • Define how activity information is to be recorded for the trace-route message. Refer to Generating and configuring a trace-route message
  • If you want to accumulate activity information in the trace-route message, ensure that the queue manager is enabled for trace-route messaging
  • If you want to accumulate activity information in the trace-route message, ensure that applications performing activities on the trace-route message are capable of writing activity information to the message data of the trace-route message
