First Failure Data Capture user interface for stand-alone clients

To enable First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) output, we can either use a long or short form system property.

Long form system property

The long form takes priority over the short form and uses a system property that is unique to WebSphere Application Server to specify the FFDC dump file name. This property is:

com.ibm.ejs.ras.lite.ffdcLogFile

The following example shows how to use the long form system property to enable FFDC output:

-Dcom.ibm.ejs.ras.lite.ffdcLogFile=c:\ffdc.log

Short form system property

The short form system property is:

ffdcLogFile

The following example shows how to use the short form system property to enable FFDC output:

-DffdcLogFile=c:\ffdc.log
