3–2 Web-Based Enterprise Services Release Notes
3.1 Summary
Computer Crash Analysis Tool (CCAT) is a software application that enables Hewlett-Packard
Customer Services engineers and system administrators to analyze operating system crashes.
CCAT matches information collected about a crash against a set of operating system-specific
rules to determine if the footprint of the collected crash data matches any known crash data
footprints for which a solution or corrective action has been found.
Once the footprint has been created, CCAT can perform the following functions automatically:
• Email information about the crash to the system administrator or other designated local
addressee.
• Analyze the crash file and produce a results file.
CCAT also can be run at any time as a GUI (see the CCAT User Guide for details).

CCAT can analyze crashes on the following operating systems. Note that WEBES can be
