Error logs

WebSphere MQ uses a number of error logs to capture messages concerning the operation of WebSphere MQ itself, any queue managers that you start, and error data coming from the channels that are in use.

The location of the error logs depends on whether the queue manager name is known.

In the IFS:

• If the queue manager name is known and the queue manager is available, error logs are located in:

  /QIBM/UserData/mqm/qmname/errors

• If the queue manager is not available, error logs are located in:

  /QIBM/UserData/mqm/&SYSTEM/errors

We can use the system utility EDTF to browse the errors directories and files. For example:

         EDTF '/QIBM/UsedData/mqm/errors'

Alternatively, we can use option 23 against the queue manager from the WRKMQM panel.
