Support Tickets - Best Practices

You may also ask for assistance through a Support Ticket.  To ensure the fastest possible investigation and resolution, please include the following information when creating support tickets:

  1. Detailed steps to replicate the issue
    • This will help the Customer Support Engineer reproduce the behavior for investigation.
    • Please be sure to reproduce your issue on a vanilla bundle of Liferay to ensure our engineers are reproducing your precise issue when they investigate.
    • With the reproduction steps, it's helpful to include statements about what the Expected Results are verses the Actual Results.  Example:
      • Expected Results: the button is visible.
      • Actual Results: the button is not visible.
    • You may want to include screenshots from the UI/console/browser console, etc.
    • Video or GIF may also be shared to help illustrate reproduction steps.

  2. Description of your use-case
    • Understanding what your use-case is, and what you are trying to accomplish, may help us resolve the issue or offer advice on best-practices.

  3. Complete Liferay logs from startup
    • By default, the logs are included in /$Liferay_home/logs
    • Having logging from startup will provide additional context in analyzing errors from the stack trace.
