Abend-AID by BMC Compuware is a powerful mainframe application troubleshooting tool that helps developers fix errors and abends in an easy and efficient way. It simplifies the process of diagnosing and fixing application issues through its powerful error analysis and diagnostic features, taking developers directly to the information they need to fix errors and abends.
Features of Abend-AID:
Abend-AID automatically gathers program and environmental information relevant to the failure, analyzes the information, and presents the diagnosis and supporting data in a way that is easy for all levels of IS staff to understand and quickly navigate. Abend-AID detects and diagnoses all CE abends and condition codes for increased programmer productivity, application availability, and reduced system resource impact.
Abend-AID also includes up-to-date source code information in its diagnostic reports for COBOL, PL/1 and assembly applications, providing a high level of expertise for all programmers and reducing problem-solving time and the programmer’s learning curve. Additionally, Abend-AID has new features including COBOL-PERFORM trace, consolidated displays of IMS and DB2 data to speed access to critical information, and easier access to Abend-AID reports.
The Value of Abend-AID:
Developers can identify errors and verify test results through a directory of all error activity and view the text of a statement that causes an error and the contents of the associated fields. Abend-AID also helps developers to clearly display data in memory and data transferred between programs, identify field lengths and index values for multi-dimensional tables, and view source code for program logic.
Abend-AID not only reduces risk while making changes to critical mainframe applications and ensures reliability and quality of mainframe applications, but also detects errors earlier during development, enabling a DevOps “left shift”, and achieving service level agreements and MIPS reduction. It reduces bug fix time and negative business impact due to backend mainframe errors, reduces development downtime and time to market for new features, and enables rapid resolution of application defects through source-level analysis.
