Collecting Installation Manager log with IBM Support Assistant

Question & Answer


Question

How can IBM Installation Manager (IM) information be collected by using IBM Support Assistant (ISA)?

Answer

Use the following instructions to collect IM logs:

  1. Download and install the latest supported version of ISA from http://www.ibm.com/software/support/isa/
  2. Launch ISA; go to Updater > Tool > New Plug-ins Updates
  3. Expand the Rational folder; select the product that was installed on your system
    Note: The selected product must use IM as the installer application.
  4. Click Install; select I agree; click OK to restart ISA
  5. After ISA is launched, go to Service, and select a product that is listed in Collect Data > Collect
  6. Select Problem type as IBM Installation Manager Collector; click Collect; click OK; click OK
  7. Select an upload option, then click OK

If "Do Not FTP the Logs" option is selected, ISA will display the path where it saves the collection results.
