Collect data for Java problem analysis

To collect data for an authorized program analysis report (APAR), follow these steps.

1. Include a complete description of the problem.
2. Save the Java™ class file that caused the problem while running.
3. You can use the SAV command to save objects from the integrated file system. You may need to save other class files that this program must run. You may also want to save and send in an entire directory for IBM^® to use when trying to reproduce the problem, if necessary. This is an example of how to save an entire directory.

   Example: Save a directory

   Note: Read the Code example disclaimer for important legal information.

   SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP01.DEVD') OBJ(('/mydir'))

   If possible, save the source files for any Java classes that are involved in the problem. This is helpful to IBM when reproducing and analyzing the problem.

4. Save any service programs that contain native methods that are required to run the program.
5. Save any data files that are required to run the Java program.
6. Add a complete description of how to reproduce the problem.
   This includes:

   • The value of the CLASSPATH environment variable.
   • A description of the Java command that was run.
   • A description of how to respond to any input that is required by the program.
7. Include any vertical licensed internal code (VLIC) logs that have occurred near the time of failure.
8. Add the job log from both the interactive job and the BCI job where the Java virtual machine was running.
