Information We Need

However you contact us, please try to include the information below, if you have it. The more information you can give, the better Micro Focus SupportLine can help you. But if you don't know all the answers, or you think some are irrelevant to your problem, please give whatever information you have.

Alternatively, you might be asked to provide a log file created by the Consolidated Tracing Facility (CTF) - a tracing infrastructure that enables you to quickly and easily produce diagnostic information detailing the operation of a number of Micro Focus software components.

On UNIX, you can use the Micro Focus UNIX Support Scan Utility, mfsupport, to create a log file that contains the details about your environment, product, and settings. The mfsupport script is stored in $COBDIR/bin.

To run mfsupport:

  1. Start a UNIX shell.
  2. Set COBDIR to the product with issues.
  3. Execute mfsupport from a directory where you have write permissions.

    This creates a log file, mfpoll.txt, in that directory.

  4. When the script finishes, send the mfpoll.txt file to your Micro Focus SupportLine representative.
Note:

If COBDIR is set to a location that does not contain etc/cobver, the script outputs the contents of /opt/microfocus/logs/MicroFocusProductRegistry.dat which keeps a list of the installed Micro Focus products.
