We'd like Intellimagic to process details on MQ channels

Process SMF 116 subtype 10 MQ Channel accounting records 
Currently Intellimagic only processes SMF 116 subtype 0,1,2. 
 

The MP1B tool currently supports all subtypes.

    Hi there,

    Currently, we are facing challenges in extracting channel related information, such as - number of connections in a channel, source of connections and other key channel usage details.

    If IntelliMagic is able to process SMF 116 subtype 10, it would significantly improve our ability to track trends in channel usage, understand the impact on CPU utilization and analyze performance more effectively

    We believe this functionality would provide substantial value in improving and optimization of our system performance.

    I am uploading the reports we were able to extract from SMF 116 subtype 10 records using the MP1B supportpac.

    Thanks,

    Claire
