Z Abend Investigator installation and administration
- Preparing to customize Z Abend Investigator
- Customizing the operating environment for Z Abend Investigator
- Using the Z Abend Investigator HFZS subsystem
  Z Abend Investigator uses a subsystem known as HFZS for services that can otherwise not be performed or which might cause incomplete analysis if not started.
- Modifying your ISPF environment
- Customize Z Abend Investigator by using USERMODs
- Customize Z Abend Investigator by using an HFZOPTLM configuration-options module
- Setting up history files
  Z Abend Investigator requires at least one PDS or PDSE data set to be allocated as a fault history file.
- Setting and changing default options for the site
- Providing compiler listings or Z Abend Investigator side files
  - COBOL Report Writer Precompiler
  - Required compiler options for HFZLANGX
  - Naming compiler listings or side files
    Store compiler listings or side files in sequential data sets, or as members of PDS or PDSE data sets.
  - Creating side files with the HFZLANGX utility
    The HFZLANGX utility program converts a compiler listing or SYSADATA file to a LANGX side file.
  - Formatting side files with the HFZLANGP utility
    The HFZLANGP utility can create a readable listing from a LANGX side file, from a SYSDEBUG side file, or from the DWARF debugging information in a program object. This utility can be useful if your installation conserves DASD space by keeping side files rather than compiler listings. The output from the utility resembles the original compiler listing.
  - Naming CSECTs for Z Abend Investigator
    To facilitate source code information, Z Abend Investigator must be able to match CSECT names with the compiler listings or side files provided.
  - Locating compiler listings or side files
  - Using the HFZXSFOR compiler listing/side file search and override exit
    If the HFZXSFOR exit is available, Z Abend Investigator invokes it to allow programmatic specification of the location of compiler listing or side file data.
  - Compiler listings and side file attributes
  - Using the HFZRLOAD DDname for CSECT mapping
  - HFZDATST side file availability test utility
  - ISPF-packed compiler listings
  - Providing Java source information to Z Abend Investigator
    There are two options for providing Java™ application source information to Z Abend Investigator.
- Customizing the CICS environment
- Customizing the DB2 environment
- Customizing the IMS environment
- Customizing the Z Abend Investigator Japanese feature
- Verifying Z Abend Investigator customization
- Managing history files (HFZUTIL utility)
  The HFZUTIL batch utility can be used to perform history file management functions, such as listing and deleting history file fault entries.
- Providing application-specific explanations and descriptions
- Maintaining Z Abend Investigator
- Disabling Z Abend Investigator
- Customizing Z Abend Investigator by using user exits

Compiler listings and side file attributes

Compiler listings and side files must be allocated using the following attributes:

DDname

Attributes

HFZADATA

Sequential data set or PDS or PDSE, RECFM=VB, LRECL≥8188

HFZLC

Sequential data set or PDS or PDSE with either of the following attributes:

RECFM=VB or VBA and LRECL≥137
RECFM=FB or FBA and LRECL=133

HFZLCOB

Sequential data set or PDS or PDSE, RECFM=FBA, LRECL=133

HFZLCOBO

Sequential data set or PDS or PDSE, RECFM=FBA, LRECL=121

HFZSYSDB

Sequential data set or PDS or PDSE, RECFM=F or FB, 80≤LRECL≤1024

HFZLANGX

Sequential data set or PDS or PDSE, RECFM=VB, LRECL≥1562

HFZLPLI

Sequential data set or PDS or PDSE, RECFM=VBA, LRECL≥125

HFZLPLIE

Sequential data set or PDS or PDSE, RECFM=VBA, LRECL≥137

In order for Z Abend Investigator to read the compiler listings or side files, they must not be allocated as temporary data sets (for example, using &&dsname-type data set names in your JCL).

For the purpose of conserving disk space, compiler listings can be stored in ISPF packed format. This storage is done by using the PACK ON option from within ISPF edit of the file. The ISPF packed format is not permitted for HFZLANGX or HFZADATA data sets.
