Rocket® SmartScope

Optimize development and performance for your mainframe applications

A robust fault diagnosis and dump management solution


SmartScope supports application availability in z/OS® environments by automating the complex, error-prone processes of managing dumps and analyzing, diagnosing, and resolving batch and online application and system failures, or abends.

SmartScope uses dumps as input and provides an online, interactive viewing facility that is easy to understand and illustrates the cause of failure. In most cases SmartScope can display the actual failing statement within the application’s source code. With this information, and Rocket SmartScope’s notification capabilities, the user is able to quickly identify and resolve the cause of a program error.

With Rocket SmartScope you have:

  • High-performance, scalable architecture that avoids system bottlenecks by performing an outside-of-task caching of dump data 
  • Innovative architecture provides fast, consistent capture and rendering of dump data
  • Intelligent dump data analysis features make the most difficult, invisible application errors, visible
  • Quick scope report and quick access menu allow application programmers to promptly pinpoint application errors
  • Flexible dump capture, dump rendering, and dump management options
  • Fault alert feature offers variety of ways to report problems
