OPSDUMP Function

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

OPSDUMP 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 and the HOME address space.

ALL

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

QUIESCE

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