Database facilities

The database products used by WebSphere Message Broker also record information that might be useful if you have any problems with their access. Refer to the database product documentation for details of logs and other problem determination options.

Database logs

DB2 has a number of facilities that assist you with problem diagnosis and recovery. For example, there are the error logs, db2diag.log on distributed systems, and db2alert.log on z/OS, that contain error and alert information recorded by various components of the DB2 product. Refer to the DB2 Troubleshooting Guide for comprehensive information on what options are available, how to use them, and how to interpret the information provided.

Other database products have similar logs; consult your database administrator or database documentation for more information.

ODBC trace

You can trace ODBC activity; follow the instructions in ODBC trace.

Trace information is output to the location specified in the .odbc.ini file, or in the ODBC configuration on Windows. By default, this is /var/wmqi/odbc/odbctrace.out on non-Windows systems.
