Tracing the WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition plug-in for the WebSphere MQ Explorer

You can trace WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition plug-in in the WebSphere MQ Explorer to help with problem determination.

About this task

To enable trace, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Create a .options file that contains your trace options in MQ_installation_directory\MQ Explorer\Eclipse\.options on Windows, or in /opt/mqm/eclipseSDK33/eclipse/.options on Linux.
  2. Start the WebSphere MQ Explorer from that directory using the following command: strmqcfg -x. This command starts the WebSphere MQ Explorer in debug mode and loads the .options file.

    The trace is then output to the following location: configuration_directory\wmqfte\config\gui\logs\output0.log on Windows (this is not the same location as an agent trace).

Example

The following example shows a .options file.
# WebSphere Managed File Transfer
#
# GUI Trace Options:
# Turn on debugging for the com.ibm.wmqfte.explorer plugin.
com.ibm.wmqfte.explorer/debug=true

# Trace level for com.ibm.wmqfte.explorer plugin
com.ibm.wmqfte.explorer/debug/level=com.ibm.wmqfte=all:=warning
com.ibm.wmqfte.explorer/debug=true
com.ibm.wmqfte.explorer/debug/level==all
