CADVILDD

Use CADVILDD to convert an SVC dump into a format that can be loaded by the CA SymDump System dump viewer.

This utility enables you to use the CA SymDump System dump viewer to browse the storage for a dump that was not captured by the product. It does not modify the input dump data set in any way, so that data set can still be used with IBM's IPCS product to format dump information and execute verb exits. The utility simply provides an alternate viewing environment for dump storage, one that allows control block mapping, point-and-shoot access, and other dump viewer features for dumps not captured by the product.

Since CA SymDump System did not capture the input dump, Favorites, Formatted Reports and CICS Control Blocks are not available in the resulting dump tree. OS Control Blocks and Loaded Programs are included in the dump tree.

This utility:

• Creates two dump data sets similar to a normal dump capture using the allocation parameters defined in the options table CADVTABL
• Adds the dump to the currently active dump index
• Builds the storage index to prepare the dump for viewing

This utility can only be used on a system on which dump capture is active.
