Trace architecture (C)

In MQe, trace is configured globally. This means that trace is enabled for the device, and when enabled, all C MQe applications generate trace.

You can configure the location where you want trace files to be written.

Each application generates a unique file in the form MQEnnnnn.trc, where "nnnnn" is the process identifier of the application.

MQe trace files are written in a binary format to minimize their size.

You can either send these binary trace files directly to an IBM® Service Representative to decode them or, alternatively, use the MQenativeTraceFormatter.exe utility provided with MQe. This utility runs on Windows®, but does not run on PocketPC. It takes the trace file as an argument and prints the decoded output to standard out. The output can be captured in a file by running a command, such as:
MQenativeTraceFormatter.exe AMQ12345.trc > AMQ12345.txt
This will decode the file AMQ12345.trc and place the output in a file called AMQ12345.txt.
