You can expand the scope of data that the IBM Support Assistant
Data Collector utility collects.
About this task
To determine which information to collect, the utility reads
property files in a specific directory. You can add a properties file
that specifies additional directories and files for the utility to
search. A sample.properties file is provided for you to use as template.
Procedure
- Navigate to the jazz-team-server-install-directory/support/isadc/scripts/RATLSHARE/extensions
directory.
- Make a copy of the sample.properties file.
- Modify the new properties file to specify the additional
files for the utility to collect. Use the properties that are listed
in Table 1.

in all entries. Paths that refer to a parent directory (..) are not
supported.

The following example directs the tool to collect the
WAS_AppSrv_Path/derby/derby.log file, and all files that match the
WAS_AppSrv_Path/features/com.ibm.ws.wsgateway_6.0.0.0/*.properties pattern:
rtl.collect.was.extension.content=derby/derby.log,
features/com.ibm.ws.wsgateway_6.0.0.0/*.properties
