Controlling trace-route messaging

Enabling a queue manager for trace-route messaging means 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 for trace-route messaging, every queue manager in the network must be enabled for trace-route messaging individually. The more enabled queue managers, the more recorded activity information.

When using activity reports to record activity information for a trace-route message there are further considerations, see Controlling activity recording.

For activity information to be recorded for a trace-route message as it is routed through a queue manager, the following are required:

• The trace-route message must define how activity information is to be recorded, see Configuring and generating a trace-route message.

• If accumulating activity information in the trace-route message, then the queue manager must be enabled for trace-route messaging, see Controlling queue managers for trace-route messaging.

• If accumulating activity information in the trace-route message, then applications performing activities on the trace-route message must be capable of writing activity information to the message data of the trace-route message, see Enabling applications for trace-route messaging.
