Trace-route reply messages
Activity information can only be acquired from a trace-route reply message if the location of the trace-route reply message is known.
If the trace-route reply message is not on the reply-to queue that was specified in the message descriptor of the trace-route message, check the following locations:
- The local system queue, SYSTEM.ADMIN.TRACE.ROUTE.QUEUE, on the target queue manager of the trace-route message.
- A common queue, see Using a common queue for trace-route reply messages.
- The local system queue, SYSTEM.ADMIN.TRACE.ROUTE.QUEUE, on any queue manager in the queue manager network.
This can occur if the trace-route message has been put to a dead-letter queue, or the maximum number of activities was exceeded.
To use the recorded activity information in a trace-route reply message, do the following:
- Retrieve the trace-route reply message from its known location.
- Use the WebSphere MQ display route application to display the recorded activity information.
- Study the activity information and determine the information we need.
