Initial steps and commands


BMC Support might ask that you perform steps similar to the following.

  1. Run mqsexport to export the profile containing the model exhibiting the issue, as shown in the following example:

    mqsexport –p BMCSOFTWARE -–profile Profile0 Profile0.zip SA
  2. Export the transactions exhibiting the issue. You can specify the mask option which replaces as much of your data as possible with a non-descript replacement. However, if you have payload filters on specific data this might fail to cause the same results as a real transaction.
    • One specific transaction: resolver -u SA -p BMCSOFTWARE export all Profile0 Model0_1 1234
    • Sampling of transactions: resolver –u SA –p BMCSOFTWARE export_range all Profile0 Model0_1 now-300 now 50 "d:/TxnExports/" true
  3. Replay a transaction to verify the issue can be replicated using this procedure.

    resolver –u SA –p BMCSOFTWARE replay d:/TxnExports/1234 10000 1 1 30000 300
  4. Capture screen shots of the issue.
  5. Zip up the profile and transaction export files and any screenshots for BMC Support Analysis.
