Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Version 9.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Difficult to diagnose intermittent * * issues on WebSphere Application * * Server. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When an intermittent issue occurs in WebSphere Application Server, it becomes hard to diagnose as it is hard to capture trace-buffer/javacores/heapdumps manually at the right time. Enabling trace for extended periods of time to capture intermittent issues may cause the trace.log files to roll over, as well as, affect the overall performance.
Problem conclusion
A new serviceability function, called Diagnostic Plan, is added to help diagnose intermittent issues and address the issue where users do not want to enable trace in their production systems. The diagnostic plan is a MBean API, which can be invoked by jython scripts using the wsadmin command. This will set up a diagnostic plan for the WebSphere Application Server to follow. The plan are simple sequence of actions that can wait for specific log, trace, or FFDC events to occur, and can trigger the modification of the trace spec, collecting the trace buffer content, collecting javacores, collecting heap dumps, or collecting system cores. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.0.8.
