Problem:

To differentiate faultfinder ouputs from one another, previously, in the faultfinder configuration details ($COBCONFIG file) you could specify :-

     set faultfind_outfile="fault%p.log"

where 'fault' would be a name of your choice, %p would be replaced with the process

id of the faulting process, and '.log' would be another name of your choice

When using faultfinder within Enterprise Server in a busy system, it can happen that the process-id is not sufficient to keep the Faultfinder dumps unique, especially in IMS and CICS where many transactions can be executed in a single SEP (therefore all of them under the same PID).

Resolution:

From Nexpress 5.0 Websync WS4 and Server Express 5.0 Websync WS4, the options %d and %t have been added.

%d will be replaced with the date of the fault in the format <yyyymmdd>

And %t will be replaced with the time of the fault in the format <hhmmss>.

Therefore, if process 12345 crashed on 12 January 2007 at 11:26:53, and faultfinder had been configured with

  set faultfind_outfile=flt.%d.%t.%p.log

then the log file produced would be called 'flt.20070112.112653.12345.log'
