Before Contacting Oracle Support
Before contacting Oracle Support, do the following:
Try all the appropriate diagnostics and troubleshooting guidelines described in this document Oracle Traffic Director Administrator's Guide).
Check whether the problem you are facing, or a similar problem, has been discussed in the OTN Discussion Forums at http://forums.oracle.com/.
If the information available on the forum is not sufficient to help you solve the problem, post a question on the forum. Other Oracle Traffic Director users on the forum might respond to your question.
To the extent possible, document the sequence of actions you performed just before the problem occurred.
Where possible, try to restore the original state of the system, and reproduce the problem using the documented steps. This helps to determine whether the problem is reproducible or an intermittent issue.
If the issue can be reproduced, try to narrow down the steps for reproducing the problem. Problems that can be reproduced by small test cases are typically easier to diagnose when compared with large test cases.
Narrowing down the steps for reproducing problems enables Oracle Support to provide solutions for potential problems faster.
