Troubleshooting
Problem
You are having a data map problem in WebSphere Process Server. You would like to know what documentation you must collect (MustGather) so that the WebSphere Process Server Support team can diagnose your problem. If you gather this documentation before contacting support it will expedite the troubleshooting process, and save you time.
Resolving The Problem
Collect the MustGather information for problems with data maps in WebSphere Process Server. Gathering this information before calling IBM support helps in understanding the problem and saves time when analyzing the data. You can use ISA Lite to automate this process.
| Setting the trade string |
Set the following trace string, then reproduce the problem. For instructions, see the main WebSphere Process Server MustGather document.
*=info:
com.ibm.wbiserver.map.*=all
Note: Enabling the trace might slow down your system. This delay can lead to transaction time-outs and errors.
| Required diagnostic information |
Gather the following information and files:
General diagnostic information
- Problem description
- Environment description
- Server logs: All files from
<profile_root>/<profile_name>/logs/<server_name>
<profile_root>/<profile_name>/logs/ffdc - Project interchange (PI) or enterprise archive (EAR) file from the relevant applications
| IBM Support Assistant |
Automated data collectors are now available in the IBM Support Assistant to improve accuracy of complete data collection. ISA Lite can be used to automate gathering the needed log files.
Note: Be sure to also gather a detailed problem description, environment description and other requested materials like a PI file when using ISA Lite.
