ABSTRACT:
A problem determination method, system and program product are provided. Specifically, the present invention identifies problems with software programs by inserting compiled problem determination probes into program classes while the computer system on which the program is loaded is running. Once the probes have been inserted, the classes will be run and trace data will be generated. The trace data can be retrieved and analyzed to identify and address the problem. When the probes are no longer needed, they can be removed while the computer system continues to run.
