Java event replacement in Fault Analyzer event list

When an abend includes Java events, Fault Analyzer requests a system dump of the JVM. This Java system dump is analyzed by Fault Analyzer using Diagnostic Tool Framework for Java (DTFJ) APIs.

The DTFJ processing occurs asynchronously and does not delay the initial real-time abend analysis. This means that the real-time Fault Analyzer report contains only internal JVM events, not Java events.

When DTFJ processing has completed, the additional Java information is added into the fault entry so when reanalysis of the fault entry is performed, the more concise and useful Java event information is shown instead.

For example, the real-time event summary might show the following:
