| Time | Questions asked |
| 00:00 | Silence |
| 00:00 | General introduction |
| 02:07 | Technical introduction |
| 02:41 | How do I collect WebSphere MQ trace? |
| 17:59 | What are the most common issues when collecting trace? |
| 22:58 | What is the performance impact of trace? |
| 25:42 | Does IBM have any scripts or tools that I can run to go through the accumulated traces? |
| 28:19 | What do the columns and parameters mean in WebSphere MQ trace? |
| 35:14 | How can I debug my application using WebSphere MQ trace? |
| 45:13 | Do you have a strategy for debugging transient return code problems in the JMS client? |
| 47:36 | There was a comment at the beginning of the slide deck regarding starting a trace and capturing a limited amount of data from the message. Is that number in byte or kilobyte? |
| 48:26 | There was a comment regarding statistics in tracing of the CHIN, and the comment on the slide is that there wasn't a significant amount of utilization, the values that would be recorded for this statistics, is that documented on the IBM site? |
| 50:43 | I have FDCs generated on 13Ds, but I don't know when they are generated. For example, one FDC was generated on March 1st, and the other one on March 23rd. When submitting a PMR, support asks me to run a trace on it, but I do not know when FDCs are generated. |
| 54:40 | If I have an application running on a client connected to a queue manager on another computer, should I consider running traces on the client side or the queue manager side? |
| 56:10 | The new features that you talked about, specially the -p option in trace, is that in 7.0 or 7.01? |
| 56:50 | If I want to collect a trace of all the messages coming through a particular queue on a queue manager, can I use the -m option or is there a better way to do it? Would the trace capture any expired messages? |
| 60:41 | When you enable a WebSphere MQ wrapping trace, I have noticed that the SSL file does not wrap - is that by design or is that a bug? |
| 61:55 | Which files for which processes are for debugging response time issues, and are there any shortcut commands one can use to search these files? |
| 65:45 | Closing remarks |
| 66:28 | End of Call |
