Troubleshooting checklist for IBM BPM

Asking questions about hardware and software requirements, product fixes, specific problems, error messages, and diagnostic data can help you troubleshoot IBM BPM.

The following questions can help you to identify the source of a problem that is occurring with IBM BPM:

  1. Is the configuration supported?

    Refer to the requirements for IBM BPM to ensure that your system meets all hardware, operating system, and software requirements:

    .

  2. Have you applied the latest fixes?

  3. What is the problem?

  4. Have any error messages been issued?

  5. For additional help in finding error and warning messages, interpreting messages, and configuring log files, see Diagnosing problems with message logs in the Websphere Application Server information center.

  6. Difficult problems can require the use of tracing, which exposes the low-level flow of control and interactions between components. For help in understanding and using traces, see Work with trace in the Websphere Application Server information center.

  7. If the checklist does not guide you to a resolution, you can collect additional diagnostic data. This data is necessary for IBM Support to effectively troubleshoot and assist you in resolving the problem. See Contacting IBM Software Support.
