OPSDUMP Function

The OPSDUMP function tells CA OPS/MVS to take an SVC dump of the current address space. You can use OPSDUMP only in AOF rules.

This function has the following format:

var = OPSDUMP(['title'][,['name'][,'QUIESCE']])

title

(Optional) Provides the dump title and contains a string of 1 to 100 characters. If you specify no title, the title is CA OPS/MVS SVC DUMP.

name

(Optional) If you omit this argument, only the HOME address space is dumped. The name also can be one of these values:

OPS

Dumps the CA OPS/MVS address space as well as the HOME address space.

ALL

Dumps the CA OPS/MVS, HOME, PRIMARY, and SECONDARY address spaces.

QUIESCE

(Optional) Sets the system as non-dispatchable while CSA and SQA are being dumped. If you omit this argument, the system continues to run while performing the dump.
