See technote MustGather: Directions to start, end, and format trace for instructions to start IBM MQ trace.
TCP/IP packet trace and CTRACE instructions
See How to Collect PKTTRACE and CTRACE on z/OS for the latest TCP/IP trace instructions.The following example includes limiting the trace to a specific IP address.
- Insure BUFSIZE in CTIEZB00 in PARMLIB is set to 16M.
- Start packet trace comp(SYSTCPDA):
TRACE CT,ON,COMP=SYSTCPDA,SUB=(tcpipprocname)
R xx,END - Start the packet trace processing in TCPIP. Without this step, packets cannot be captured by the CTRACE component:
V TCPIP,tcpipprocname,PKT,ON,IP=xx.xx.xx.xx
- Along with the packet trace, run a CTRACE to capture the following options:
TRACE CT,ON,COMP=SYSTCPIP,SUB=(tcpipprocname)
R xx,OPTIONS=(PFS,SOCKET,ENGINE,TCP,INTERNET),
JOBNAME=(ssidCHIN),END - Set the slip according to instructions later in this document.
- Recreate the problem (during which the slip trap springs).
- Stop Packet trace comp(SYSTCPDA):
V TCPIP,tcpipprocname,PKT,OFF,IP=xx.xx.xx.xx
TRACE CT,OFF,COMP=SYSTCPDA,SUB=(tcpipprocname)
- Stop CTRACE comp(SYSTCPIP)
TRACE CT,OFF,COMP=SYSTCPIP,SUB=(tcpipprocname)
When you enter the trace command TRACE CT,ON,COMP=SYTCPDA,SUB=(tcpipprocname), the system prompts you to Specify Operands. You can enter END. You only need to pass an external writer name on the reply if you are writing to the external writer as described at How to Collect PKTTRACE and CTRACE on z/OS.
When the slip trap shown later in this document springs, it dumps IBM MQ's CHIN and trace dataspace as well as TCP/IP and its trace dataspace. This dump captures the needed doc at the time of the failure. You need to manually stop the trace after the SLIP trap springs.
SLIP trap instructions
Since this trap is not a PER SLIP, it can run along with other SLIP traps. Replace CSQX207E with the message that you are receiving.*****************************************************************
* MSTR and CHIN SVC DUMP ON Message CSQX207E *
*****************************************************************
SLIP SET,MSGID=CSQX207E,
JOBNAME=ssidCHIN,A=SVCD,
JOBLIST=(ssidMSTR,ssidCHIN,tcpipprocname),
DSPNAME=('ssidCHIN'.CSQXTRDS),
SDATA=(ALLNUC,CSA,LPA,RGN,PSA,SWA,SQA,LSQA,TRT,SUM),
MATCHLIM=1,END
*****************************************************************
* End of SLIP trap command. *

SVC Dump instructions
where "dump title" is the comment you want to provide for the title of the dump
"xxx" is replaced with the related reply-to number found at the end of the console syslog
"ssid" is the subsystem id of the queue manager
"tcpipproc" is replaced with the name of the TCP/IP procedure
