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 requires at least one PDS or PDSE data set to be allocated as a fault history file.
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.
Fault Analyzer Java wrapper utility wraps a callable Java application in a try-catch block by using the FA Java class.
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.
Some considerations if you are using the J9 VM.
The IDIUTIL batch utility can be used to perform history file management functions, such as listing and deleting history file fault entries.
The Java™ API downloads a Fault Analyzer report from the host and shows it in Eclipse-based products that are developed in Java.
