Real-time 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.

    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.

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.

See JclCapture.

To retrieve the saved JCL:

Use the JCL command from within the interactive reanalysis report. See JCL.
Select the "Abend Job JCL" point-and-shoot field from the "Abend Job Information" section of the interactive reanalysis report.

Use the HFZGET command from within a REXX Formatting user exit to retrieve the saved _JCL stem. For example:


/* REXX */                          
"HFZGET _JCL"                       
if rc = 0 then do                   
  "HFZWRITE '<L>Abend job JCL:'"    
  "HFZWRITE '<L>'"
  do i = 1 to _jcl.0                
    "HFZWRITE '<L>"_jcl.i"'"        
  end                               
end                                 
else do                             
  "HFZWRITE '<L>JCL not available'" 
end                                 
exit 0
