MQ data collection

Each MQ subsystem is represented in z/OS systems by these address spaces:

  • MASTER
  • CHANNEL INITIATOR

The following four management components for MQ reside in the master address space:

  • Message manager
  • Data manager
  • Buffer manager
  • Log manager

The CHANNEL INITIATOR address space contains the MQ channels (also known as Message Movers) that are used to transport messages.

UIE processes MQ type 115 and 116 records:

  • Type 115 records provide global performance measurements for each MQ subsystem and its components.
  • Type 116 records provide information about individual MQ transactions.

MQ type 115 and 116 records are controlled by the SMFSTAT and SMFACCT parameters in the macro CSQ6SYSP (in the system parameter module, which is CSQZPARM by default).

To generate 115 records, use:

SMFSTAT=YES

To generate type 116 records, use:

SMFACCT=YES

By default, SMFSTAT and SMFACCT are set to NO.

Warning

Important

Make generation requests for type 115 and 116 records in both the CSQZPARM module for each MQ subsystem and in the member SMFPRM xx.
