  4. Information how to contact you regarding the issue, and the issue’s severity level and impact.

Server Logs and Environment: A system administrator can gather additional information from the server that may help in troubleshooting a given issue.

Here are the components to gather:

  • Application log file: Typically named ESFM-Application.log, this file contains application-level information directly from the server. Its location is determined by an entry in ESFM_HOME/log4j.properties

  • System out and error logs: Typically named systemout and systemerr, or stdout and sderr and native_stderr, these files are written by your application server and may reside in a folder called ‘log’.

  • Settings files: The main file of interest is FMServerSettings.properties, which resides in ESFM_HOME.

  • Batch scripts: If you are troubleshooting a batch job, include a copy of the script that launches the batch job.

  • Operating system status: Check the memory usage and paging on the server, using either Task Manager on Windows or ‘ps’ and ‘vmstat’ on Unix. Specifically of interest is the overall free memory, paging file usage, and process size for the ‘java’ process running the application server.
