Although this was true for many releases, trace nodes can now (from V7) be left in production flows and "enabled" by the admin when needed. And when left in the flow as "off" I believe there is minimal overhead (almost no impact) on the flows performance.

In WMB 7.0.0.2, Trace nodes consume 3.54% capacity when enabled in Production and 1.05% capacity when disabled. By comparison, log4j consumes 2.49% capacity when logging is set to log, and 0.09% capacity when logging is set to not log. Baseline system was AIX v6.1 single CPU virtualized, throughput around 3,000 TPS with latency about 13 ms per transaction. Your mileage may vary, this is what I observed.

If your system processes medical data or financial data, be careful not to write the contents of the message payload to disk when logging. This may be flagged as a HIPAA or PCI violation.

There are fines a merchant must pay if they have had a breach:
There is a per day fine that is $5,000-25,000 for every day you don’t report the breach.
The Merchant is responsible for the cost of the forensic audit that is used to determine how the breach occurred.
The Merchant is responsible for any card holder losses. Typically the Merchant also pays for credit monitoring for affected customers.
The Merchant Bank will pass on any of their losses related to the breach to the Merchant.
The Merchant who has had a breach is moved to a level 1 merchant and is then responsible for annual PCI audits.

And this is important information if your systems need to be performant at a 1% margin of error.
Not so much at a 10% margin of error.
I'm curious, too, how the performance of the Trace node outputting ${Root} compares to the performance of a log4j procedure outputting exactly the same data would be. |

The problem is, giving away several percent here and a few percent there, eventually you run out of percent.

The same is true for WMB performance.

What would have been a 3,000 TPS system is now down to 18 TPS peak because the people did not care about performance, just write the code, worry about performance later. Same mindset with WMB on z/OS: it takes three times more CPU time to process the same message as compared to AIX Power7.

I don't disagree with you.
But if every vehicle were designed to the specifications of Air Force 1, nobody would have a personal automobile. |

Update for you all. I have received feedback from IBM who have informed me that the supportpak is presently being updated for wbimb 7. Should be generally available by end of this month.
I will be the first dinosaur to use it. |

As an update to this thread, I also found that the IA9C GetEnv node didn't appear in my WMB7 toolkit despite the IA9C release notes stating v7 compatibility.
I have found that there seems to be a problem with custom nodes in the 7.0.0.3 toolkit whereas 7.0.0.1 seems OK (and the GetEnv node appears correctly in the palette).
See http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=58683 for more info. |
