The Collector program is an executable jar file that gathers information about
a WebSphere Application Server installation and collects the information into
a single jar file that can be sent to IBM Customer Support to assist in problem
determination and analysis.  The information includes logs, configuration
files, OS and Java data, and prerequisite software presence and levels.

One time only installation:
Place the Collector.jar file in a directory of your choice.  <choice_dir>
When executing Collector be sure to work in a directory where temporary
work subdirectories may be created for work.  Collector creates these when
it is invoked and removes them when its data collection is complete.

[Note: If the system is Windows, ensure that regedit.exe is in the path.]

From the work directory.  For example:         cd /home/foo/temp
Execute the Collector program.  For example, assuming Collector.jar is in
 /home/foo/temp:
    java -jar <choice_dic>/Collector.jar

The program will prompt for the WebSphere Application Server installation
directory.  For example, if WAS is installed in /opt/WebSphere/AppServer:

    /opt/WebSphere/AppServer    or    c:\WebSphere\AppServer on windows

A file: WASenv.jar, will be created in the current / work directory.

Send the WASenv.jar file to IBM Customer Support as directed.
