Record and replay
For audit or problem determination purposes, you can record data to a database, then view it, and replay it.
If you need an audit record of messages that pass through the broker, you can record those messages. You might also want to record messages if you need to keep a history of messages for development and test purposes, or to help in problem determination.
To determine which data is recorded, you must configure monitoring on the message flow. Data is stored in a database, which can be either an Oracle or DB2® database. You must create a data source, then use a configurable service to define the data source name to use when recording data.
After you have recorded data, you can view it in several ways. By using the web interface, you can view a list of recorded messages, or you can view details of a specific message. You can also view recorded data by using the Message Broker API or the WebSphere® Message Broker Representational State Transfer (REST) API.
You can replay a message to a WebSphere MQ queue by using the web interface or Message Broker API. You can also replay the message to another message flow for testing or problem determination.
