Abstract

This IBM Redbooks publication introduces the IBM Application Development and Problem Determination Tools V7.
The tools covered are:

- IBM Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS Version 1 Release 1
- IBM Debug Tool for z/OS Version 7 Release 1
- IBM Debug Tool and Advanced Facilities for z/OS Version 7 Release 1
- IBM Fault Analyzer for z/OS Version 7 Release 1
- IBM File Manager for z/OS Version 7 Release 1
- IBM File Export for z/OS Version 1 Release 2
- IBM Workload Simulator for z/OS and OS/390 Version1 Release 1

This comprehensive suite of powerful yet easy-to-use tools helps developers efficiently build, test, and service applications while minimizing errors and increasing cost-effectiveness. The tools allow users to quickly identify and resolve problems that occur in batch, IMS, DB2, CICS, and UNIX System Services applications.

For each tool, this book provides step-by-step instructions for installation and customization, a detailed discussion of the features and capabilities, and guidance for using the tool in your environment.

Practical scenarios demonstrate how to apply the tools to monitor, manage, debug, and analyze applications in a real-world environment.
