Abstract

A computer-implemented method for performing first failure data captures may include 1) identifying a process that has failed within an old process context and is undergoing a first failure data capture within the old process context, 2) identifying at least one resource allocated within the old process context and required for restarting the process in a new process context, 3) freeing the resource from the old process context before terminating the process within the old process context, and 4) initiating the process in the new process context before the process within the old process context has terminated. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
