Temporarily uninstalling Fault Analyzer

If for any reason you want to temporarily uninstall Fault Analyzer, then the easiest way is to do the following:

  1. Rename the following invocation exit load modules in data set IDI.SIDIAUTH, for example, by changing the first character 'I' to an 'O':
    • IDIXCCEE
    • IDIXCEE
    • IDIXCX53
    • IDIXDCAP
    • IDIXTSEL
  2. Issue this MVS™ operator command:
    F LLA,REFRESH
  3. If using z/OS® 2.2 or later, issue this MVS™ operator command:
    SETPROG EXIT,MODIFY,EXITNAME=IEAVTABX_EXIT,MODNAME=IDIXDCAP,STATE=INACTIVE
  4. If using CICS®, then either bounce all CICS® systems, or use the Fault Analyzer-provided CFA transaction to uninstall all installed CICS® invocation exits.

Having done the above, then the exit processes are not able to find the expected load modules, and processing continues without them.

Note: Remember to rename the load modules back to their original names before applying any maintenance.

Reinstallation: To reinstall Fault Analyzer, do the following:

  1. Rename the load modules in step 1 of the above procedure back to their original names.
  2. Issue this MVS™ operator command: 
    F LLA,REFRESH
  3. If using z/OS® 2.2 or later, issue this MVS™ operator command:
    SETPROG EXIT,MODIFY,EXITNAME=IEAVTABX_EXIT,MODNAME=IDIXDCAP,STATE=ACTIVE
  4. If using CICS®, then either bounce all CICS® systems, or use the Fault Analyzer-provided CFA transaction to install all required CICS® invocation exits.
