IBM MQ display route application

Use the IBM MQ display route application ( dspmqrte ) to work with trace-route messages and activity information related to a trace-route message, using a command-line interface. The IBM MQ display route application is not available for IBM MQ for z/OS® queue managers.

We can use the IBM MQ display route application for the following purposes:

• 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. We can specify the characteristics of the trace-route messages as follows:

  • The destination of the trace-route message.
  • How the trace-route message mimics another message.
  • How the trace-route message should be handled as it is routed through a queue manager network.
  • Whether activity recording or trace-route messaging are used to record activity information.
• To order and display activity information related to a trace-route message.

  If the IBM 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 IBM MQ display route application can be used to order, and display, activity information related to a trace-route message that was previously generated.
