Hello, I'm tring to catch some messages during MQGET and check some fields in MQMD headers. I'm using ibm amqsaxe0.c sample as start point. But after inspecting trace files I notice that API exit doesn't catch calls made from connected clients. Only MQXACT_INTERNAL calls. So, how can I catch MQXACT_EXTERNAL calls?

I have no idea what you are looking at but I double-checked and there is nothing in the amqsaxe0.c code that has that behavior.

You should not be messing around with exit coding if you are not both a seasoned C programmer and have in-depth knowledge of MQ.

Speaking of indepth knowledge of MQ, I'm going to guess that you are not familiar with MQ's asynchronous get. In MQ v7 or v7.1 (I forget), IBM rewrote the MCA (Message Channel Agent) to use asynchronous get (callback) rather than synchronous get (MQGET). So, the information is there, you are just looking in the wrong spot.

Remember that your API exit is capturing what the SVRCONN channel does.

Remember that SVRCONN channels don't always do an MQGET when the client application does, they sometimes change it to an MQCB call. If you want to force it to be a like-for-like mapping from CLNTCONN->SVRCONN set SHARECNV to zero.

Cheers,

Hello, Roger. Thank you for async suggestion. As I said amqsaxe, is a start point only. I am trying to understand how all that staff works.

As I see amqsaxe collect traces from async callback too, but the is no logs in trace files after client calls. I use java jms client. So, maybe MQ manager by-pass client call in case of configuration?

Hello, Morag. As I have already written MQCB calls have not catchen in traces too. But, I applied your recommendations. Unfortunately nothing changed. What else should I tryed to ispect a problem?

If that is your main requirement, I would recommend researching the Application Activity Trace.

Are you using amqsaxe0.c sample as provided with IBM MQ, or does your comment "as a start point" mean you have changed it?

If you have already changed it, what is the output like if you use the provided (already built) version unchanged.

What did you do to configure the exit to the queue manager? Did you restart the queue manager after doing said configuration? Are you absolutely certain that the client application in question is connecting to THIS queue manager?

Cheers,
Morag

Thank for helping me, Morag. With your help I managed to find out what was wrong.
All configurations were right. The problem was in my Linux misunderstanding. amqsaxe uses environment variable for logs path, so I set it not global, in case of that api exit works correct, but wrote only part of the traces.
Again, great thanks for your help.
