Using Fault Analyzer
- Introduction
- Real-time analysis
  - Dump suppression
  - Fault history file selection
  - Controlling the real-time analysis with options
  - JCL DD statements
  - The real-time analysis report
  - The SYSLOG summary
  - Using the program SNAP interface (IDISNAP)
  - Invoking Fault Analyzer from a Java try-catch block
    To capture the current Java™ state from a Java program, Fault Analyzer can be invoked to create a history file fault entry, along with an associated MVS™ SVC dump.
  - Invoking Fault Analyzer from Java dump events
  - Using the Fault Analyzer Java wrapper utility
    Fault Analyzer Java wrapper utility wraps a callable Java application in a try-catch block by using the FA Java class.
  - Using the Fault Analyzer JVMTI Agent
    Fault Analyzer provides a JVMTI (JVM Tool Interface) agent. The agent runs inside a Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) and can inspect the state of the running Java application.
  - Dump registration processing
  - Real-time exclusion processing
  - Recovery fault recording
    - RFR dump titles
  - Using SLIP,COMP=0C4 with Fault Analyzer
  - Extended minidump data set (XDUMP)
  - Abend traps can prevent fault analysis
  - Capturing and displaying the abending job JCL
    When the JCLcapture option is in effect during real-time processing, Fault Analyzer attempts to obtain the JCL and save it in the fault entry. This feature is available with JES2 only.
- The Fault Analyzer ISPF interface
- Performing batch reanalysis
- Performing interactive reanalysis

- Using non-ISPF interfaces to access Fault Analyzer history files

RFR dump titles

The Fault Analyzer recovery fault recording dump title depends on whether the dump is an IEATDUMP or an SVCDUMP.

IEATDUMP dump title

Note: In the above, ^ represents the non-printable character X'00'.

The following is an example of a Fault Analyzer IEATDUMP recovery fault recording dump title:

MY.HIST(F32752).                                       IDIRFRHQ.TDUMP.FAE1.D110216.T003630.S00405.

SVCDUMP dump title

Note: In the above, ^ represents the non-printable character X'00'.

The following is an example of a Fault Analyzer SVCDUMP recovery fault recording dump title:

MY.HIST(F32753).                                       .SVCDUMP(0x0080).
