What are the mustgather for IDz/RDz issues with PLI or COBOL Editor
What logs could be collected when experiencing a problem with PLI or COBOL Editor in Rational Developer for System Z or IBM Developer for z Systems?
Here are some traces that can be enabled when:
there are issues with copybooks or include files (download, performance, ...)
there are parsing issue
Issues with copybooks or include files
The problem might be on the client or server side so the best will be to get both client and server side logs.
Server
Server side log will be the rsecomm log with debug level enabled. The RDz/IDz general mustgather indicates how to enable and gather them.Client
