Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All Fault Analyzer Version 15 users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01. Extremely large minidump and report * * causing major performance issue and * * eventually Fault Analyzer running * * out of storage. * * APAR PH51072 * * 02. MSGCEE0802C Heap storage control * * information was damaged is issued * * processing a dump data set. * * APAR PH51073 * * 03. FA abends with S0C4 in IncCobSym * * when processing fault entry * * containing captured LANGX. * * APAR PH51074 * * 04. Fault Analyzer issues IDI0092S * * while processing PL/I controlled * * array. * * APAR PH51075 * * 05. Fault Analyzer 0C4 in FmtPliData() * * when reporting PL/I LOB. * * APAR PH52670 * * 06. In the interactive reanalysis * * report, a character was overlaid on * * the last line of a text paragraph * * that wrapped over multiple lines. * * APAR PH52689 * * 07. Analysis of a CICS loops. * * APAR PH52671 * * 08. IMS online region retains history * * file allocation. * * APAR PH52672 * * 09. An exclude mask containing an * * asterisk may exlude everything. * * APAR PH52673 * * 10. Excessive CPU usage when FA * * processes a COBOL/6 abend using * * DWARF debugging info. * * APAR PH52695 * * 11. Formatting of COBOL PIC X(73728) * * item causes 0C4 when using DWARF * * source support. * * APAR PH52694 * * 12. IDI0020W messages under CICS and * * the abending task hangs. * * CICS 730 only. * * APAR PH52674 * * 13. Abend0c4 in CICSTraceLinkAnalysis * * during FA plugin analysis. * * APAR PH53255 * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF * **************************************************************** 01. A COBOL TGT was all X'40' (blanks), causing its length to be assumed being X'40404040' (1GB+). This resulted in hex-dumped storage attempted being formatted for this length with millions of lines of report generated. 02. A pointer array is not allocated properly. 03. LangxCapture has incorrectly processed multi-record xrefs or structs from originating LANGX file. 04. Array has a bad descriptor. 05. LOB length overwritten with blanks. 06. The wrong indentation was used for an ending attribute character. 07. SIOT chain in fault entry is corrupted. 08. Insulated DDNAME not closed. 09. In some cases a mask string containing an asterisk may be interpreted as only being asn asterisk. Thus all abends will be excluded from analysis. 10. Retrieval of xref modified flag from srcattr section is inefficient. 11. PIC X(73728) causes DWARF to use a 4byte integer to return variable's byte length, 12. An incorrect ATTACH call was being made and hence the ECB and parm list pointers were invalid. 13. Abend0c4 due to invalid pointer reference.
Problem conclusion
01. Validation of the TGT eyecatcher has been improved. 02. The pointer is allocated correctly. 03. LangxCapture processing of multi-record xrefs and structs corrected. 04. Controlled storage address now checked before processing descriptor. 05. LOB storage checked before formatting. 06. The indentation has been corrected. 07. SIOT chain loop is detected and analysis proceeds. 08. Insulated DDNAME is tracked and closed permitting free to operate correctly. 09. The problem is corrected. 10. New DWARF API dwarf_die_xref_flags() locates xref modified flag in variable DIE alongside xref coordinates. This can result in performance improvements. 11. DWARF FORM data4 and data8 types now supported when fetching variable's byte size. 12. The ATTACH call has been corrected 13. The pointer is not referenced.
