Hi guys, is there any tool or way to trace an IDOC that goes thru an MQ infrastructure? That being, follow it thru the logs?
I've been reading that it should be done on the SAP side, which makes sense, but is there any way to do it, aside from being configured on SAP?
SOrry if it is a dumb question, never worked with SAP before, and my manager says there are a couple of tools from MQ side to do it, but never found them 
Thanks in advance.

Same way you'd trace anything else going through an MQ infrastructure. MQ doesn't parse payload so it doesn't act differently for an IDOC, an XML document or a serialized COBOL copybook.

Not a dump question at all. A thorough business process audit would ponder MQ's involvement.
Think of MQ as a pipe through which messages flow. MQ is not aware of, or concerned with, message content (application data payload).
MQ offers a set of API's that allow an application to connect to a queue manager server, open a queue, get or put a messages, and more.
Several trace options are available to capture MQ involvement, including an application-level trace, a stand-alone trace-route utility to capture message routing (message arrival, departure on MQ channels).
Search google for 'mq trace' for details.

| Ok, thanks for your answers, and if you want to log the IDOC header? That would be a SAP side config right? |

That is not a SAP Config. It is standard in SAP.
Now if the app consuming/receiving the IDOC or producing the IDOC is not SAP, you may want to have it log this too.
Have fun

MQ rules apply: if the message persistence attribute value is set to PERSISTENT at mqput time, then the entire message content (MQ headers, plus application data payload) will be written to MQ logs.
Google 'mq+idoc+header' for details

I would not be so cavalier about advising people to read the queue manager transactional logs, especially while the queue manager is using them.
I also question the value of these logs as an audit trail or diagnostic tool if circular logging is in use.
