Using the Fault Analyzer IDIS subsystem
Fault Analyzer uses a subsystem known as IDIS for services that can otherwise not be performed or which might cause incomplete analysis if not started.

Fault Analyzer installation and administration
- Migrating from an earlier version of Fault Analyzer
- Preparing to customize Fault Analyzer
- Customizing the operating environment for Fault Analyzer
- Using the Fault Analyzer IDIS subsystem
  Fault Analyzer uses a subsystem known as IDIS for services that can otherwise not be performed or which might cause incomplete analysis if not started.
  - Sysplex-wide subsystem inter-communication
    Multiple IDIS subsystems in a sysplex interface with one another using the Cross-system Coupling Facility (XCF) to allow efficient sharing of subsystem-managed data, such as the caching of $$INDEX data.
  - Caching of history file $$INDEX data
  - Starting the IDIS subsystem
    - IDIS subsystem storage requirements
    - IDIS subsystem requirements for DB2
    - IDIS subsystem requirements for Java
      - Specifying an IDIJLIB DD statement
      - Specifying a default JVM for Java dump analysis
        Performing Java™ dump analysis requires a JVM that has a service level equal to, or greater than, the JVM that recorded the Java dump. Optional DD statements can specify default JVMs to use when the version of Java indicated by the dump JAVA_HOME path cannot be found on the system.
  - Stopping the IDIS subsystem
    The IDIS subsystem can be stopped and restarted at any time.
- Modifying your ISPF environment
- Customize Fault Analyzer by using USERMODs
- Customize Fault Analyzer by using an IDIOPTLM configuration-options module
- Setting up history files
  Fault Analyzer requires at least one PDS or PDSE data set to be allocated as a fault history file.
- Setting and changing default options for the site
- Providing compiler listings or Fault Analyzer side files
- Customizing the CICS environment
- Customizing the DB2 environment
- Customizing the IMS environment
- Customizing the Fault Analyzer Japanese feature
- Customizing the Fault Analyzer Korean feature
- Verifying Fault Analyzer customization
- Managing history files (IDIUTIL utility)
  The IDIUTIL batch utility can be used to perform history file management functions, such as listing and deleting history file fault entries.
- Providing application-specific explanations and descriptions
- Maintaining Fault Analyzer
- Disabling Fault Analyzer
- Customizing Fault Analyzer by using user exits
- Installing non-ISPF interfaces to access Fault Analyzer history files

IDIS subsystem requirements for Java

Ensure that data set IDI.SIDIAUT2 has been added to LINKLIST (for details, see Making Fault Analyzer modules available). Failure to add IDI.SIDIAUT2 to LINKLIST prevents Fault Analyzer from loading DLLs which are necessary for the analysis of Java™ faults. Also, message IDI0158W is issued by the IDIS subsystem if this situation should occur.

The IDIS subsystem must have UPDATE access to at least the default history file in order to create a Java™ fault entry.
