Abstract: Aspects of the invention include detecting an error alert from a target computer system. In response to detecting the error alert, performance data is then retrieved from the target computer system.

Abstract: A method for operating a processing unit. The processing unit addresses virtual memory areas in order to access a RAM memory unit and these individual virtual memory areas respectively being mapped onto a physical memory area of the RAM memory unit. A check of the RAM memory unit for errors is performed. If, in the course of this check, a physical memory area of the RAM memory unit is determined to be faulty, this faulty physical memory area is designated as faulty. A check is performed to determine whether a free physical memory area exists in RAM memory unit onto which no virtual memory area is mapped and which is not designated as faulty. If such a free physical memory area exists, the virtual memory area that is currently mapped onto the physical memory area recognized as faulty is henceforth mapped onto this free physical memory area.

Information associated with a failure message generated in response to process integration failure between two computer-implemented applications is received. The two computer-implemented applications include a sender application and a receiver application. The information includes a sender application/receiver application interface and details that caused the failure. Using the received information, multiple failure message similar to the failure message are identified.
