Activity report format

Activity reports are standard IBM MQ report messages containing a message descriptor and message data. Activity reports are PCF messages generated by applications that have performed an activity on behalf of a message as it has been routed through a queue manager network.

Activity reports contain the following information:

    A message descriptor
    An MQMD structure

    Message data
    Consists of the following:

    • An embedded PCF header (MQEPH).
    • Activity report message data.

Activity report message data consists of the Activity PCF group and, if generated for a trace-route message, the TraceRoute PCF group. Table 1 shows the structure of these reports, including parameters that are returned only under certain conditions.
