IBM Fault Analyzer (FA) for z/OS is a tool to help understand the cause of an abend in an application. FA provides information to help answer the questions:
- What happened and why?
- Which program and source statement caused the error?
- Which program variables were involved in the error?
A walkthrough will be done to demonstrate how FA and its features would be used to understand the cause of an abend in a z/OS application.
