IT40691: TRACE FILES CONTINUE TO GROW SLOWLY FOR MQSI COMMANDS EVEN IF TRACE IS TURNED OFF

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Running mqsi commands causes the growth of trace files in
  $MQSI_WORKPATH/common/log even if trace is disabled. The content
  of these files will contain only the trace header information
  for example:
  ====== Starting plaintext trace (process ID 29056 -
  V11.mqsilist) ======
  === Build ib1100-L210804.250 (S1100-L210803.21551) - IBM App
  Connect Enterprise 11.0.0.14 ===
  === Platform Windows 10 Enterprise / AMD64 / 6.3 build 19043 ===
  
  === Timestamps are formatted in local time, which is GMT ===
  === Time now 2022-01-25 18:21:02.623820 ===

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Running mqsi commands causes the growth of trace files in
  $MQSI_WORKPATH/common/log even if trace is disabled. The content
  of these files will contain only the trace header information
  for example:
  
  ====== Starting plaintext trace (process ID 29056 -

  === Timestamps are formatted in local time, which is GMT ===
  === Time now 2022-01-25 18:21:02.623820 ===
  
  However these files should be appended to if trace is active.
  

Problem conclusion

• Running mqsi* commands no longer  causes growth in trace files
  in the $MQSI_WORKPATH/common/log directory.
