MustGather: SIP container errors on WebSphere Application Server

Troubleshooting


Problem

Collecting data for problems with any IBM WebSphere Application Server Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) errors logged in WebSphere Application Server logs. Gathering this MustGather information before calling IBM support will help you understand the problem and save time analyzing the data.

Resolving The Problem


Session initiation protocol engine specific MustGather information
If possible, provide a simple testcase that has no external dependencies. If a testcase cannot be provided, collect the following data.

  1. Run genHistoryReport.bat or genHistoryReport.sh, which is located in the following directory:

    install_root/profiles/profile_name/bin

    The historyreport.html file will be generated in your working directory.

  2. Clear all Application Server logs:
    • native_stderr
    • native_stdout
    • SystemErr
    • SystemOut

      The log files are located in the following directory:

      install_root/profiles/profile_name/logs/server_name

      Note: If you have configured to write Application Server log files into a different location, then clear them accordingly.

  3. Clear all WebSphere Application Server FFDC logs. FFDC files are located in the following directory:

    install_root/profiles/profile_name/logs/ffdc

    Note: If you have configured to write FFDC log files into a different location, then clear them accordingly.

  4. Enable and collect Application Server traces with the following trace string:

    *=info:com.ibm.ws.sip.*=all:com.ibm.wsspi.sip*=all

    For detailed instructions on enabling trace, see How to setup a Trace.


When you recreate problem:
Collect the Application Server logs, such as the following logs:
  • native_stderr
  • native_stdout
  • SystemErr
  • SystemOut
  • trace
  • FFDC logs with the current date from the following directory:

    install_root/profiles/profile_name/logs/ffdc

  • The server.xml file that is located in the directory:

    install_root/profiles/profile_name/config/cells/cell_name/nodes/node_name/servers/server_name

  • The historyReport.html file from running genHistoryReport.bat or genHistoryReport.sh.


Follow instructions to send diagnostic information to IBM support.
