Procedure

  1. Understand the problem and identify the root cause.
    One of the most important tasks of diagnosing a problem is to fully understand the underlying issue. Then, analyze what you know and identify the root cause. Consider the following basic questions as you try to understand the problem:
    • What are the symptoms of the problem?
    • Where does the problem occur?
    • When does the problem occur?
    • Under which conditions does the problem occur?
    • Can the problem be reproduced?
  2. Develop, test, and implement a solution.
    Based your analysis of the root cause of the problem, develop, test, and deploy a feasible solution.
  3. If needed, get support from IBM.
    In the event that you cannot identify the root cause of the problem or develop a feasible solution on your own, contact IBM Support for assistance. You can search existing support resources for a possible fix or open a new support case to continue the troubleshooting process.
