How You Obtain a System Dump

The SYSDUMP command lets you obtain a system dump of CA MIM and optionally, a list of other named address spaces. You can request the dump on the issuing system, all systems in the CA MIM complex, and all external systems to the issuing system, or a list of selected systems in the complex.

Keep the following in mind:

• You must issue the SYSDUMP command from a console or a TSO session. You cannot issue this command from the MIMPARMS data set.
• You must be authorized to issue system control commands in order to issue the SYSDUMP command. TSO users generally are not authorized to issue system control commands.

To obtain a system dump

Issue the following command:

SYSDUMP COLLECT=MAXIMUM SYSTEM=sysname

sysname

Specifies the name of the system for which you want the dump.

Note: For more information, see the CA MIM Statement and Command Reference Guide.
