Fault Analyzer for z/OS

Technical detail

Fault history files
Fault history files consist of fault entries that are stored separately. Fault entries contain the following types of information:

  • Real-time analysis key information, such as abend code and the name of the failing program
  • Execution environment details, such as job name, system ID, and the date and time when the fault occurred
  • The associated real-time analysis report
  • Saved minidump (if applicable)
  • Name of associated SYSMDUMP data set (if applicable)

You can view fault entry details, browse the real-time analysis report, start batch and interactive fault reanalysis or delete fault entries from an interactive display of a fault history file.

Although a fault history file can be either a partitioned data set (PDS) or a partition data set extended (PDSE), PDSE data sets are recommended because PDS member update is not serialized and therefore you might lose fault entries.
