Tracing on IBM i
On IBM® i, tracing is nearly identical between server and client installations. However, some tracing options are available on server installations only and some options do not apply to a stand-alone client.
About this task
On IBM i, both the server and client support tracing at the IBM i command line by calling the QMQM/STRMQTRC and QMQM/ENDMQTRC programs, and both support tracing at the IBM i Qshell using the STRMQTRC, ENDMQTRC and DSPMQTRC commands.
However, only the IBM MQ server installation for IBM i provides the TRCMQM command. Furthermore, a stand-alone client does not support the -m parameter on either the start or end trace commands, since there are no queue managers. The runmqras -qmlist parameter is not valid on a stand-alone client for the same reason.
