  - 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.

Pointing to listings with JCL DD statements

You can specify the following DD statements in the JCL if appropriate. If they are not specified, the definitions from the PARMLIB configuration member HFZCNF00, the HFZOPTS user options file, or an Analysis Control user exit are used to identify these data sets:

HFZLC: PDS or PDSE data set containing C compiler listings
HFZLCOB: PDS or PDSE data set containing COBOL compiler listings (other than OS/VS COBOL)
HFZLCOBO: PDS or PDSE data set containing OS/VS COBOL compiler listings
HFZSYSDB: PDS or PDSE data set containing COBOL or Enterprise PL/I SYSDEBUG, or XL C/C++ MDBG side files.
HFZLPLI: PDS or PDSE data set containing PL/I compiler listings (other than Enterprise PL/I)
HFZLPLIE: PDS or PDSE data set containing Enterprise PL/I compiler listings
HFZADATA: PDS or PDSE data set containing SYSADATA from Assembler compilations
HFZLANGX: PDS or PDSE data set containing LANGX side files for all languages

Do not specify a member name on any of the above DD statements. See Providing compiler listings or Z Abend Investigator side files for further details on the use of these files.
