Error description
There is an error in collector.sh shipped in 8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.7 on z/WebSphere. The Line $EXTRA_D_ARGS should be $EXTRA_D_ARGS \ Please note there must be a single space between the S and \ and there should be no spaces after \. This line follows: -Dws.ext.dirs="$WAS_EXT_DIRS" \ and is before the line $WAS_LOGGING \
Local fix
Option 1 is to run the following commands from a shell session: <Note: the value was.install.root can be found in your AppServer joblogs (CR or SR))> cd <was.install.root>/bin sed -e 's/$EXTRA_D_ARGS *$/$EXTRA_D_ARGS \\/' <collector.sh > c2.sh chmod 755 c2.sh cd /tmp <was.install.root>/bin/c2.sh Option 2 is to edit a copy of the collector.sh (the value of was.install.root can be found in your AppServer joblogs (CR or SR)): cd <was.install.root>/bin cp collector.sh c2.sh Use your favorite editor to edit c2.sh taking note of the following: $EXTRA_D_ARGS should be $EXTRA_D_ARGS \ (Please note there must be a single space between the S and \ and there should be no spaces after \.) cd /tmp <was.install.root>/bin/c2.sh
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.0 and V8.5 Collector tool * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Collector script fail for WebSphere * * Application Server V8.0 and V8.5 with * * collector.sh 37: FSUM7351 not found * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** One of the lines in the script which was added needed a backslash at the end which was not included. This causes collector.sh to fail immediately and no useful data having been collected.
Problem conclusion
$EXTRA_D_ARGS are missing the required \. with this fix, added a \ to the remaining $EXTRA_D_ARGS token for collector script. APAR PI55683 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Pack 8.0.0.13 of WebSphere Application Server V8.0 and Fix Pack 8.5.5.10 of WebSphere Application Server V8.5.
