Abstract
A method in a multithreaded computing environment for capturing diagnostic data, the method comprising the steps of: in response to a determination that the computing environment is in a predetermined invalid state, a first thread recording diagnostic data for the computing environment, wherein the determination includes a verification that the invalid state corresponds to a state other than a transient state of the computing environment corresponding to a transition of the computing environment by a second thread from a first valid state to a second valid state. An apparatus and computer program element for providing such diagnostic data capture are also provided.
