staff can offer you better service, if you have certain information available

|

when you open a problem record to IBM Support.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To gather this information, complete the following tasks:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div class="tablenoborder"><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary="" frame="border" border="1" rules="all"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Run <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget.exe</span> to gather information. </td>

<td valign="top">The <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget.exe</span> tool, a part
|
||
|
|
of iSeries™ Access
|
||
|
|
for Windows<sup>®</sup> V5R3
|
||
|
|
and later, can help collect all traces run plus other information that may
|
||
|
|
be helpful in diagnosing a problem. <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget</span> produces
|
||
|
|
a zip file to send to IBM Service for analysis. Note that <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget</span> does
|
||
|
|
NOT turn traces on and off -- it simply gathers traces and other data into
|
||
|
|
one file for convenience and completeness. If you use the <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget.exe</span> tool
|
||
|
|
you will not need to complete the steps below for gathering the version of
|
||
|
|
the ODBC driver and for locating the trace files. Make sure to run <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget.exe</span> after
|
||
|
|
the traces are stopped so that the trace files get packaged into the zip file
|
||
|
|
that <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget</span> generates. To use <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget.exe</span> complete
|
||
|
|
the following steps: <ol><li>Open a MS DOS Command prompt. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Navigate to the Client Access folder typically located in the \Program
|
||
|
|
Files\IBM\Client Access directory and run the following command: <pre>cd \Program Files\IBM\Client Access</pre>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Run the command: <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget.exe</span></li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <span class="uicontrol">cwbsvget.exe</span> generates a .zip file for you.
