Enabling IMS Trigger Monitor Tracing

You can dynamically control the IMS Trigger Monitor tracing. You do this by putting specific messages on the MQSeries Initiation Queue that the trigger monitor monitors. You can write a program to place these messages on the queue, or you can use an IBM supplied utility such as amqsput, or amqsputc.

You use the CSQ4TRMN:TRACE message to toggle tracing on and off:

• If trace is currently OFF, putting a message with the CSQ4TRMN:TRACE massage string toggles the trace setting in the IMS Trigger Monitor ON.
• If trace is currently ON, putting a message with the CSQ4TRMN:TRACE massage string toggles the trace setting in the IMS Trigger Monitor OFF.

You can also terminate the Trigger Monitor job by putting a specific message on the MQSeries Initiation Queue that the trigger monitor monitors. As with dynamic control, you can write a program to place these messages on the queue, or you can use an IBM supplied utility such as amqsput, or amqsputc.

To terminate the Trigger Monitor job, place the following message on the MQSeries Initiation Queue that is being monitored:

CSQ4TRMN:STOP
