Using Z Abend Investigator
- 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 (HFZSNAP)
  - Invoking Z Abend Investigator from a Java try-catch block
    To capture the current Java™ state from a Java program, Z Abend Investigator can be invoked to create a history file fault entry, along with an associated MVS™ SVC dump.
  - Invoking Z Abend Investigator from Java dump events
  - Using the Z Abend Investigator Java wrapper utility
    Z Abend Investigator Java wrapper utility wraps a callable Java application in a try-catch block by using the FA Java class.
  - Using the Z Abend Investigator JVMTI Agent
    Z Abend Investigator 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
  - Using SLIP,COMP=0C4 with Z Abend Investigator
  - 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, Z Abend Investigator attempts to obtain the JCL and save it in the fault entry. This feature is available with JES2 only.

Abend traps can prevent fault analysis

Using abend trapping methods in a program (such as ESTAE/ESPIE routines or EXEC CICS HANDLE routines in CICS) can prevent Z Abend Investigator from gaining control after an abend occurs. As a result, Z Abend Investigator cannot analyze the abend.
