Enable tracing nodes per flow, not per integration server

In ACE v11, you can only enable trace nodes for an entire integration server, not just at a flow or application level (as you could in iib v10).

As not all customers that migrate to v11 will choose to adopt the small container approach, enabling trace nodes at an integration server basically makes this feature useless since there is to much data generated.

Since node managed environments are still supported, customers should have the option to enable trace nodes at the level that fits them. Regardless of the size of the integration server (at least provide the option to enable it per application).

Support's reply was "we would expect a single application per container" that is fine on it's own, but that doesn't fit with everyone's environment. More logically the customer has the option to choose this level. Even a single application with multiple flows can generate to much output to make trace nodes usefull.

    Hi,

    One of GTS customer requested this feature to be added on ACE as it was on IIB.
    This will give them better results when they need to trace a flow.

    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to submit this idea for enhancement, which we agree would improve the product. Historically, the "-f" flag on the mqsichangetrace command was only reliably used for trace nodes rather than for the usertrace and servicetrace options on the command … so when ACEv11 was released it was easiest to remove this capability rather than establish it consistently for flow only usage. To reflect our approval of the idea, the status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
