After enabling the MQ Monitor agent for MQ Tracing on agent startup this exception occurs:
Exception in thread "MQDLQReader-DEVGPP01|NABNPDGMQDEVM1" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.mq.pcf.activity.ActivityData
at com.wily.powerpack.websphereMQ.agent.MQMonitor.trace.ActivityReportParser.parseActivityMessage(ActivityReportParser.java:162)
MQ Tracing with APM requires the MQ Activity recording/reporting feature to track message routing.
The corresponding class "com.ibm.mq.pcf.activity.ActivityData" is contained in 3rd party WebSphere MQ Broker library com.ibm.mq.pcf-6.1.jar which needs to be in the agent Java CLASSPATH
CA APM 9.x, 10.x MQMonitor agent
Per the APM documentation for the extension for IBM WebSphere MQ the startMQMonitor.sh(.bat) file needs to have the PCF_JAR variable set to the location of com.ibm.mq.pcf-6.1.jar file. PCF_JAR is then included in the Java CLASSPATH for the agent startup
