Abend-AID, Compuware’s mainframe application failure resolution and fault management solution, enables developers to reduce the tedious and time-consuming task of manually cross-referencing pages of recorded application memory information with pages of application code to understand why an application failure occurred.
Using Abend-AID, developers can:
- Identify errors and verify test results through a directory of all fault activity
- View the text of a statement causing an error and the contents of its related fields
- Clearly display data in storage and data being transferred between programs
- Identify field lengths and index values for multi-dimensional tables
- View source code for program logic
- Get richer, more complete insight into mainframe issues through an integration with Syncsort Ironstream® including a Splunk®app to help with analysis
