Hello,
Please vote for the RFE, if you would find this helpful.
Headline: Application Activity Trace support for z/OS
Link: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=56321
Description:
Please provide the Application Activity Trace tool on z/OS.
Use Case:
I have recently started using more the MQ AAT (Application Activity Trace) on distributed, and with a few tweaks to the supplied amqsact source code, this is a very nice and powerful tool for debugging and MQ application review.
I noticed in the MQ manual that the AAT was not delivered for z/OS. Perhaps this was due to this data being available through SMF. However, for consistency sake and ease of use, it would be very helpful if the AAT was supported on z/OS, as well.
Business Justification:
For consistency sake and ease of use, it would be very helpful if the AAT was supported on z/OS, as well. |

If I had to guess, I'd guess that the response will be to use GTF for traces. GTF (Generalized Trace Facility) has been a all-powerful mainstay trace tool for decades on z/OS and its predecessors.

The main advantages I see of AAT over the MQ mainframe GTF tracing or distributed strmqtrc tracing is the following:
1. Trace data is formatted into human readable text.
2. Trace data can be easily grouped by selection criteria (i.e. application name, pid, tid, conname, channel name, etc.).
3. One line summary of each API call.
I personally find the distributed strmqtrc tracing more easily to use and robust than the mainframe GTF tracing for MQ. |
