Hi,
I am using a trace node at the input and output nodes to record the message Id, date and timestamp of the message when it enters into the broker's input node and when it reaches the output node.
With the record of the trace nodes, we are going to analyze the time for the message flow to process the message(to see the performance of the flow).
Question: How to get the message Id in the trace node when the message enters into the input node?.
Thanks. |

Hi, I would set trace with :

The IBM product documentation leaves a little to be desired.
The documentation on the trace node is very scant in describing the sort of thing you can do with it. Hence, this question.
If there were more examples of using the various sources of data ( $Body, $Environment etc) and the properties therein it would really help people make real effective use of the features in the node.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

There's a feedback link at the bottom of almost every page in the Info Center. In my experience, this feedback link is taken seriously, and changes are made to improve the documentation.

Hi,
I am recording the message information at the input and output by placing a Trace node(Date, timestamp and MsgId).
In my local environment I selected the File option in the trace node and i gave the file path as "C:\Program Files\IBM\MessageBrokersToolkit\6.0\Error_Trace.log.txt" and I am able to write the information to the file Error_Trace.log.txt which is a good thing.
Question: Now I want to set the file path onto a Unix Box where my TEST broker is running. I set the Trace node's file path as "/var/mqsi/Error_Trace.log.txt" but I dont see anything written to this file.
Do you guys know whether I am doing any mistake while defining the path on the Unix?.
Thanks.

Is the message going successfully to the output queue?
Check whether the broker user ID has write permissions on the directory /var/mqsi and the file Error_Trace.log.txt. Also ensure that the /var/mqsi file system is not full. You can check this by issuing a df -k command.

You can check system logs /var/adm/messages to find if it is problem with user permissions or another one.

Hi guys,
I am recording the date and timestamp of a message by using a Trace Node with the statement:
Date is: ${EXTRACT(YEAR FROM CURRENT_DATE)}-${EXTRACT(MONTH FROM CURRENT_DATE)}-${EXTRACT (DAY FROM CURRENT_DATE)} Time is: ${EXTRACT(HOUR FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)}:${EXTRACT(MINUTE FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)}:${CAST(CAST((1000*EXTRACT(SECOND FROM CURRENT_TIME)) AS INTEGER) AS CHAR)}
The timestamp is recording as eg: 9:9:59799. Is there anyway to standardize the timestamp as 09:09:59799(hh:mm:sssss) inside a Trace Node?.
I know that we use 'funcPadNumber' function to achieve this in a Compute Node. I dont know how we can do it in a Trace Node. Can we somehow implement this function in a Trace Node or do we have some other option to achieve this?.
Thanks. |

i havent tried this in a trace node but try to cast the timestamp using the format option and u should see it in ur desired format
although not sure if cast will work in a trace
