Interpreting IBM MQ for z/OS accounting data
IBM® MQ for z/OS® accounting data is written as SMF type 116 records. Use this topic as a reference to the different types of accounting data records.
IBM MQ accounting information can be collected for
the following subtypes:
- 0
- Message manager accounting records (how much processor time was spent processing IBM MQ API calls and the number of MQPUT and MQGET calls). This information is produced when a named task disconnects from IBM MQ, and so the information contained within the record might cover many hours.
- 1
- Accounting data for each task, at thread and queue level.
- 2
- Additional queue-level accounting data (if the task used more queues than could fit in the subtype 1 record).
- 10
- Accounting data for channels. Note: Accounting information for specific channels can be enabled or suppressed by the STATCHL channel attribute, and the STATACLS queue manager attribute.
- Subtype 0 records are produced with accounting trace class 1.
- Subtype 1 and 2 records are produced with accounting trace class 3.
- Subtype 10 records are produced with accounting trace class 4.
