- Organization of this subsection
(1) Execute the data collection tool
Execute the data collection tool (jbs_log.bat).
By executing jbs_log.bat, you can collect the data needed for investigating a JP1/Base error on that host.
The amount of data collected varies greatly depending on your operating environment. Before executing the data collection tool, estimate the amount of data as follows, and make sure you have sufficient disk space.
- Data size when a physical host is specified in jbs_log.bat
-
If you specify a physical host (by omitting the -h option) in the jbs_log.bat command, use the following equation to estimate how much data will be collected about JP1/Base and the computer environment:
Data size = 5 + a + b + c + d (MB)
- a
-
Size of all the files in installation-folder\log\ (maximum 45 MB#1)
- b
-
Size of all the files in installation-folder\sys\ (maximum 55 MB#2)
- c
-
Data size of the Dr. Watson log and crash dump
- d
-
Total size of the following files
-
system-drive (such as C:\WINNT) \system32\config\AppEvent.evt
-
system-drive (such as C:\WINNT) \system32\config\SysEvent.evt
-
#1: An extra 142 MB is required if you are running JP1/IM - Manager on the same host.
#2: This is the default value. This value increases if you change the size of the event database.
- Data size when a logical host is specified in jbs_log.bat
-
If you specify a logical host in the jbs_log.bat command, use the following equation to estimate how much data will be collected about JP1/Base and the computer environment:
Data size = 5 + a + b + c + d + e + f (MB)
- a
-
Size of all the files in installation-folder\log\ (maximum 45 MB#1)
- b
-
Size of all the files in installation-folder\sys\ (maximum 55 MB#2)
- c
-
Data size of the Dr. Watson log and crash dump
- d
-
Total size of the following files
-
system-drive (such as C:\WINNT) \system32\config\AppEvent.evt
-
system-drive (such as C:\WINNT) \system32\config\SysEvent.evt
-
- e
-
Data size of shared-folder\jp1base\log\ (maximum 45 MB#1)
- f
-
Data size of shared-folder\jp1base\event\ (maximum 55 MB#2)
#1: An extra 142 MB is required if you are running JP1/IM - Manager on the same host.
#2: This is the default value. This value increases if you change the size of the event database. For details on estimating the maximum size, see the Release Notes.
To check the size of each folder in Internet Explorer, right-click the folder, and then display the Properties window.
For details on estimating the maximum disk space requirements of each folder, see the Release Notes.
An example of jbs_log.bat execution is shown below.
c:\>c:\usertools\jbs_log.bat data-folder
Specify a full path for data-folder. If the path contains a space, enclose the path in double quotation marks (").
When you execute the tool, a jp1default folder is created in the directory you specified in data-folder. If you specify the -h option, in addition to the jp1default folder, a folder with the name of the logical host is created. Two further folders, base_1st and base_2nd are created in each of these folders, and the data collected by jbs_log.bat is copied under them. If necessary, you can compress the collected data by using an archiving tool.
The jbs_log.bat command provides options for excluding specific files, such as command execution logs (ISAM) and event database files. For details, see jbs_log.bat (Windows only) in 15. Commands.
- Notes on data collection with JP1/IM, JP1/AJS, and other pre-version 07-00 programs
-
In JP1/Base version 07-00 or later, the data collection tool cannot be customized for collecting JP1/IM and JP1/AJS data. To collect data from these programs, execute the program-specific data collection tool.
(2) Check the status of the process
Use the Windows task manager to check the operating status of a desired process. The system displays the following process names when the processes are operating normally. The value in parentheses in the table indicates the number of processes that can be executed simultaneously.
