Problem Determination for WebSphere for z/OS
by Rica Weller, Cleberson Calefi, Per Fremstad, Keith Jabcuga, Suresh Maddukuri, Kiet Nguyen, Robyn Nostalgi, Rajesh Pericherla
Overview
IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V6 is a complex product made up of many components. This IBM Redbooks publication focuses on the problems that you can experience with WebSphere for z/OS. It is intended for system programmers and administrators who need to identify, analyze, and fix problems efficiently so that they can deliver good support for the WebSphere environment.
In Part 1, we provide an overview of problem determination methodology, what skills you need, where to find information about related topics, and how to communicate with IBM when a problem occurs.
In Part 2, we describe the most common problem symptoms. Flow charts guide you through the problem analysis process step by step. Individual tasks and questions help you filter out irrelevant facts and find the problem area, so that you can identify the type, source, cause, and possibly a solution.
In Part 3, we identify possible problem areas and arrange them into four phases that correspond with WebSphere for z/OS life cycle stages. We explain how to analyze the problems and provide valuable hints and tips for avoiding them.
In Part 4, we provide means and tools for problem determination such as commands, logs, dumps, traces, and diagnostic tools. We describe other tools that can ease the day-to-day tasks and prevent problems. We also explain where to get these tools, show you how to use them, and provide examples.
