Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server    *
*                 V5, with the Embedded Messaging Server       *
*                 installed. (Note that this option is         *
*                 installed by default)                        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: At server startup, a file called        *
*                      mqjms.trc is created in the             *
*                      WebSphere/AppServer/ directory. In      *
*                      most cases this file is left empty;     *
*                      sometimes it becomes populated with     *
*                      trace information from the Embedded     *
*                      Messaging client. In this latter case   *
*                      it can become very large and consume    *
*                      large amounts of disk space.            *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If a customer is seeing a file called mqjms.trc in the
AppServer directory, then they are suffering this problem.
Usually it is benign, however if the file becomes populated
then it will grow unboundedly. This is caused by a defect in
the JMSServer code, which accidentally triggers MQ JMS code to
create this file. Internally, we have only been able to
recreate the case where this file is created but left empty,
and it's presently unknown what causes the file to become
populated. The fix has been observed to solve this latter case
as well.
Problem conclusion
This problem is fixed in WAS v5 PTF1, which a customer
experiencing difficulties should apply. The mqjms.trc file can
safely be deleted.
