The operator can specify a trace of the queue management function by issuing the following commands:

R xx,TRACE               to turn on console trace
R xx,NOTRACE             to turn off console trace

The queue manager writes a message to the console for each file action, including retry attempts or file deletions. See the explanation of message EZY0960I in the z/OS Communications Server: IP Messages Volume 3 (EZY) manual. This message describes the routing, name of file, type of operation, and time. The time displayed is the time the scan started, not the time the actual operation occurs.
