Why and when to perform this task
To run the collector tool:Steps for this task
Using the collector command with no additional parameters gathers one copy of the node data and data from each server in the node, and stores them in a single JAR output file.
Note: The WebSphere Application Server installation root directory is determined at installation. It is identified in the setupCmdLine.sh file (or the setupCmdLine.bat file on a Windows platform).
Results
The collector program creates a log file, Collector.log, and an output JAR file in the current directory.
The name of the JAR file is based on the hostname and package of the Application Server product, in the format: hostname-ND-WASenv.jar or hostname-Base-WASenv.jar. For example, if you run the collector tool on the server ws-laceweb within a Network Deployment cell, the filename is ws-laceweb-ND-WASenv.jar.
The Collector.log log file is one of the files collected in the hostname-ND-WASenv.jar or hostname-Base-WASenv.jar file.
What to do next
Send the hostname-ND-WASenv.jar or hostname-Base-WASenv.jar file to IBM Support for analysis.
