Create a Problem Report

This procedure describes how to create a clean, detailed problem report:

1. Stop the jabber.exe process.
2. Delete all logs for your OS; they are located in these folders:
   • Windows XP:
     C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\Logs
   • Windows Vista:
     C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\Logs

3. Restart the jabber.exe process.

   Note: Record the name of your Cisco contact, as well as the time of the interaction, and include this information in the summary for the problem report.

5. From the Jabber help menu, select the Report a problem option in order to launch the reporting tool.
