How to capture Trace in IBM IIB OR ACE

 

There are two kind of traces we use to troubleshoot any issue in IIB/ACE -

User Trace:

This trace is useful for developers for debugging and it generate low level of trace capture.

Below are the steps to generate this and analyze -

1. Start trace:

mqsichangetrace ACENODE -e EGName -u -l debug -r -c 200000 

2. Re-create the runtime behavior.

3. Stop trace:

mqsichangetrace ACENODE -e EGName -u -l none

4. Verify trace status

mqsireporttrace ACENODE -e EGName

Service trace -

This is detailed trace and captures everything required to analyze the issue and required when you are working with IBM support to resolve a particular issue.

1. Start/enable trace

mqsichangetrace ACENode -e EG_Name -t -l debugTree -r -c 200000

2. Recreate the issue

3. Stop/disable the trace

mqsichangetrace ACENode -e EG_Name -t -l none

4. Verify the trace status

mqsireporttrace ACENode -e EG_Name

The generated log could be found under this dir/location - /var/mqsi/common/log
