WebSphere Application Server - Support
-
This page provides a convenient starting point for querying technical documents, solving
problems, downloading fixes, planning, learning, and communicating.
IBM Support has documents and tools that can save you time
gathering information needed to resolve problems, as described in
Troubleshooting help from IBM. Before opening a problem report, see the Support page:
- Support - Recommended fixes
-
This page provides a comprehensive list of recommended, generally available (GA) fixes for IBM
WebSphere Application Server releases.
- Support - MustGather documents
-
MustGather documents aid in problem determination and save time resolving Problem Management
Records (PMRs). Collecting MustGather data early, even before opening the PMR, helps IBM Support quickly determine if:
- Symptoms match known problems (rediscovery).
- There is a non-defect problem that can be identified and resolved.
- There is a defect that identifies a workaround to reduce severity.
- Locating root cause can speed development of a code fix.
Notes
- The online WebSphere Application Server product
documentation describes supported configurations. Many of the previous sites could contain
information that describes unsupported configurations.
- Information residing on non-IBM sites is provided for your convenience. Its technical accuracy
is controlled by the owner of the site. Use the information at your own risk.
