To view this page, launch the Log Analyzer, install_root/bin/waslogbr on
UNIX systems or install_root\bin\waslogbr.bat on Windows NT or Windows 2000
systems. Click File > Preferences > Proxy.
The symptom database included in the Log Analyzer package contains entries
for common events and errors. New versions of the symptom database provide
additional entries. Download new versions of the database from the IBM FTP
site. The URL for the FTP site is located in file: install_dir/bin/ivblogbr.properties.
The default setting for the FTP site is: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/websphere/info/tools/loganalyzer/symptoms/std/symptomdb.xml
You can update your symptom database in one of two ways:
- Download a new version from the FTP site, and replace your existing database
with the new version. Your database is: install_dir/symptoms/std/symptomdb.xml.
- Use the Log Analyzer graphical user interface (GUI) to update your database
by selecting: File -> Update database -> WebSphere Application Server Symptom
Database (for WebSphere Application Server) or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment Symptom Database for WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment.
Setting the proxy definition
If your organization
uses a FTP or SOCKS proxy server, contact your system administrator for the
host name and port number of the proxy server.
If you use the Log Analyzer
GUI to update the database, you can add a proxy definition to the Proxy Preferences
page as described below:
- Select File -> Preferences -> Proxy.
- Select the appropriate proxy type.
- Enter the host name and port number of the proxy server on the Proxy panel.
If you do not use the Log Analyzer GUI, add the proxy definition
to the command that launches Log Analyzer.
