Formatting the information

To format the user parameter data collected by the global trace, use either the batch job shown in Figure 13 or the IPCS GTFTRACE USR(xxx) command, where xxx is:

5E9
To format information about control blocks on entry to WebSphere MQ MQI calls
5EA
To format information about control blocks on exit from WebSphere MQ MQI calls
5EE
To format information about WebSphere MQ internals

You can also specify the JOBNAME(jobname) parameter to limit the formatted output to specific jobs.

Identifying the control blocks associated with WebSphere MQ

The format identifier for the WebSphere MQ trace is D9. This value appears at the beginning of each formatted control block in the formatted GTF output, in the form:

USRD9

Identifying the event identifier associated with the control block

The trace formatter inserts one of the following messages at the top of each control block. These indicate whether the data was captured on entry to or exit from WebSphere MQ
