To determine the locations of the trace-route reply messages related to a specific message when the reports are delivered to the local system queue, it is more efficient to use a common queue on a single node
Before you begin
Set the ROUTEREC parameter to enable the
queue manager for trace-route messaging and to specify that any trace-route
reply messages generated are delivered to the local system queue SYSTEM.ADMIN.TRACE.ROUTE.QUEUE.
About this task
If a number of queue managers in a queue manager network are set to deliver trace-route reply messages to the local system queue, it can be time consuming to determine the locations of the trace-route reply messages related to a specific message. Alternatively, use a single node, which is a queue manager that hosts a common queue. All the queue managers in a queue manager network can deliver trace-route reply messages to this common queue. The benefit of using a common queue is that queue managers do not have to deliver trace-route reply messages to the reply-to queue specified in a message and, when determining the locations of the trace-route reply messages related to a message, you query one queue only.
To set up a common queue, perform the following steps:
Procedure
-
Select or define a queue manager as the single node
-
On the single node, select or define a queue for use as the common queue
-
On all queue managers that forward trace-route reply messages to the common queue, redefine the local system queue SYSTEM.ADMIN.TRACE.ROUTE.QUEUE as a remote queue definition
-
Specify the name of the single node as the remote queue manager name
-
Specify the name of the common queue as the remote queue name
