> Plus when you're displaying register contents or stack traces, the > addresses are displayed as links. IPCS has been doing that since I started working with it. Use %, ? and (forgot the 64bit-address character) when displaying active storage. Equate some address with a symbol, and you can list it using the symbolic name. IPCS automatically gives you a lot of symbols, generated when the dump is initialized.
I should mention that even Fault Analyzer does links when you use the interactive panels. FA is geared towards application programmers, though. A tool to more easily read a java dump is a good thing. Back when we had a lot of problems with our problem being queued from component to component because nobody had a clue, I asked IBM for something to help analyze a java dump from inside an sdump. Was told in no uncertain terms that nothing like this exists. I don't think that the tool described by David is much help when analyzing a system problem, though. Knowledge of what goes on in z/OS and a good tool (IPCS) to ask a dump good questions are what's required, IMO.
