Trace files

All trace files are created in the directory /var/mqm/trace.
We can accommodate production of large trace files by mounting a temporary file system over this directory.
Trace files are named AMQppppp.qq.TRC, where:

ppppp Is the ID of the process reporting the error.
qq Starts at 0. If the full filename already exists, this value is incremented by one until a unique trace filename is found. A trace filename can already exist if a process is reused.

The process identifier can contain fewer, or more, digits than shown in the example.
There is one trace file for each process running as part of the entity being traced.

In order to format or view a trace file, be either the creator of the trace file, or a member of the mqm group.
