<div><p>When a problem occurs accessing a distributed relational database,
it is the job of the administrator to determine the nature of the problem
and whether it is a problem with the application or a problem with the local
or remote system.</p>
<p>You must then resolve the problem or obtain customer support assistance
to resolve the problem. To do this, you need:</p>
<ul><li>An understanding of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> licensed
program support.</li>
<li>A good idea of how to decide if a problem is on an application requester
(AR) or an application server (AS).</li>
<li>Familiarity with using <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> problem
management functions.</li>
</ul>
<p>For more information about diagnosing problems in a distributed relational
database, see the <em>Distributed Relational Database Problem Determination
Guide</em>, SC26-4782.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1probover.htm">iSeries problem handling overview</a></strong><br />
The <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> licensed
program helps you manage problems for both user- and system-detected problems
that occur on local and remote <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span>s. </li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1prbiso.htm">Isolate distributed relational database problems</a></strong><br />
A problem you encounter when running a distributed relational database application can exhibit two general symptoms: incorrect output or the application does not complete in the expected time.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1wwu.htm">Work with distributed relational database users</a></strong><br />
Investigating a problem usually begins with the user. Users might not be getting the results they expect when running a program or they might get a message indicating a problem. Sometimes the best way to diagnose and solve a problem is to go through the procedure with a user.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1appprob.htm">Application problems</a></strong><br />
The best time to handle a problem with an application is before it goes into production. However, it is impossible to anticipate all the conditions that will exist for an application when it gets into general use.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1scprob.htm">System and communications problems</a></strong><br />
When a problem with a system or its communications occurs, a message is generated. System-detected problems are automatically entered into the problem log, where they can be viewed and analyzed.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1gdrf.htm">Get data to report a failure</a></strong><br />
This topic collection describes the kinds of data that you can
print to help you diagnose a problem in a distributed relational database
on <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span>s.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1firstfail.htm">Find first-failure data capture data</a></strong><br />
This topic describes tips on how to locate first-failure data capture
(FFDC) data on an <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span>.
The information is most useful if the failure causing the FFDC data output
occurred on the application server (AS). The FFDC data for an application
requester (AR) can usually be found in one of the spooled files associated
with the job running the application program.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal1stsrvjb.htm">Start a service job to diagnose application server problems</a></strong><br />
When an application uses Distributed
Relational Database Architecture™ (DRDA<sup>®</sup>), the SQL statements are run in the
application server job. Because of this, you might need to start debug or
a job trace for the application server job that is running on the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operating system. The technique
for doing this differs based on the use of either Advanced Program-to-Program
Communication (APPC) or TCP/IP.</li>
