Installation with Other SVC 51 Intercepts

If you have multiple products that use an intercept for SVC 51, run CAIRIM to initialize CA SymDump Batch after all other products.

Business Value:

Initializing CA SymDump Batch after all other products have been initialized helps ensure that CA SymDump Batch will get control first. This enables the most accurate possible analysis and reporting before any possible interference can occur.

Additional Considerations:

When CA SymDump Batch is initialized, it replaces the address of SVC 51, the DUMP SVC. When the product is finished with its reporting, it will take one of the following actions, depending on the DUMP option.

• If the DUMP option is OFF, control will be returned to the operating system.
• If the DUMP option is ON, control will be given to the address that was replaced when CA SymDump Batch was initialized.

Therefore, if any other product, such as CA SymDump System, that intercepts SVC 51 was initialized before CA SymDump Batch, that product will not get control unless the DUMP option is set to ON.
