MustGather: Read first for IBM WebSphere Portal

 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
MustGather documents aid in problem determination and save time resolving Problem Management Records (PMRs).
 
Resolving the problem
Collecting MustGather data early, even before opening a 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.

Gathering general information
For WebSphere® Portal V5.0 or later, use the IBM Support Assistant Lite for WebSphere Portal tool to gather the documentation and information necessary to troubleshoot the problem on the system(s) in your environment.

Gathering component specific information
The IBM Support Assistant Lite for WebSphere Portal tool is tightly integrated with the following MustGather requirements and is the recommended method of gathering system information. However, manually gathering the requested information and sending it to IBM Support is an option if you so choose. If one of the product components below matches your symptom or the part of the product with which you are experiencing problems, follow the instructions in the associated MustGather document:
