There is a new update to the MH06 Trace Tools supportpac.

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24036430

01Feb16:
Message parsing in mqtrcfrmt. Message parsing provides the ability to do byte analysis on a message in a strmqtrc or activity trace, and find out information such as how much of the message is ASCII, the offset location and numbers of multi-byte 1208 characters, the offset location and numbers of surrogate pairs, the offset locations and numbers of invalid bytes if the message was marked as 1208 or 1200, and so on. This tool could be used to do investigations such as "does this message contain surrogate pairs?" (which is not supported by MQ) and "where are the surrogate pairs located in the message?", "has the message been incorrectly marked as 819 when it has a 1208 make up?", "does the message contain non-ASCII bytes that could potentially cause a data conversion issue if the application is ported between servers with a different default CCSID for the queue manager?", and so on.

Msg2File in mqtrcfrmt. This provides the ability to put a special tag above a message in a strmqtrc or activity trace output, and then have the mqtrcfrmt write the contents of the message to a file. This file could then be used to PUT the message back onto a queue. As a convenience, a java program called MQFile2Msg is provided to PUT the file onto a queue.

amqsactz activity trace tool. amqsact is an IBM supplied sample for formatting activity trace records. amqsactz takes the amqsact sample and provides some usability enhancements for working with activity trace data. The amqsactz source and a sample Linux executable is provided in the SupportPac.
