This section provides information about changes to Fault Analyzer version 9.1 that you should be aware of if migrating from version 8.1.
  • The Analysis Control user exit is now being invoked in reanalysis mode, as well as in real time.

    • EPC.DUPLICATE_COUNT (replaced by ENV.DUPLICATE_COUNT)

    • EPC.POF_MODULE_NAME (replaced by ENV.POF_MODULE_NAME)
  • The ENV.LOCK_FLAG field size is now two characters instead of one, with support for fault entry expiration control. For details, see Fault entry expiration control. Users of load module user exits should note that the field offset has changed,
  • The current value in ENV.VERSION has changed to 0004.
