I have a broker (6.1.0.4 on AIX) that is creating largish files in /var/mqsi/common/log and I don't see any tracing turned on.
The suffix for the files is .trace.bin.*
I am correct in thinking the mqsireportbroker should tell me what's being traced shouldn't it? The event log doesn’t show any traces either.
I stopped/started the broker and cleared out these files but they've come back.

Thanks for any advice...

well if you opened the files and read them then it would show what is actually being written to the files

maybe post an example of teh content on here if you do not know

Thanks for the swift reply - The contents look to be from one execution group only but is there a way to tell if the trace is on or off.
The messageflow names are mentioned through and it looks to be a service trace as far as I can tell.

you can issue a command to check if the propeties of all the flows in the execution group, this shows if any flows has turned the begug on(Trace level.)

MQ Command:


mqsireportproperties <BROKERName> -e <ExecutionGroup> -o
AllMessageFlows -a

Hope this helps.

It does help - Thanks...
The messageflow names I can see in the .trace.bin. files have;

userTraceLevel='none'
traceLevel='none'
userTraceFilter='none'

when I issue the command against the EG, in fact all of them!

The four files have the current date / time and are rolling. I'm puzzled as all mqsireportbroker commands report no trace active.

The trace will be none by default, unless you set the trace to debug you dont see that.

So what exactly is your problem .

The concern I have is that there are four large trace files under /var that are constantly being written to. To me this is an unnecessary overhead and all I want to do is turn the tracing off but don’t know how as I don’t know which element has it turned on.

Can you post some entries from these files so that we can have a look at them

Try The below command..
This will actually set all the flows in the execution group trace to be none.


mqsilist -e ExecutionGroup|awk '/BIP8131I/ {print("sudo -u mqsi mqsichangetrace -u -e ExecutinGroup -f "$3" -l none")}'|ksh

this will take a while..depends on how many flows you got..


hope this helps.
