Generating a Grid Status Report

Use this procedure to generate a Grid Status report.

The Lawson Grid is able to generate a report that includes a variety of information that is useful for determining the state of a grid and its deployed applications. The report will indicate problems that it finds and it will also contain log files, configuration files, and other things that may be of use for tracking down problems. Although you can use the report simply to confirm that the grid is working satisfactorily, the report is very helpful to include when you need to report a bug or problem with the Lawson Grid or an application running in the grid.

To generate a Grid Status report

  1. Navigate to the Topology Overview page in the Grid Management pages.
  2. Click the Advanced link.
  3. Click the Grid Status Report link.
  4. Click the Auto Select Node button.
    Note: 

    Any grid node or router may be used to generate the report. Clicking the Auto Select Node button means that the Lawson Grid will select a node that it thinks is the recommended one to use in this case as indicated in the list of nodes below the Auto Select Node button.

    If you have reason to believe that the recommended node is not a good choice because it is experiencing problems, you may manually select a specific node from the list below instead of clicking the Auto Select Node button.

  5. Select what you want to be included in the report. Typically you want the default values.
  6. Click the Generate Report button and wait for the report to be generated.
  7. In the dialog box that opens, click the Download… link.
  8. Save the report (zip file) to disk.
  9. Close the dialog box.
