Dump Options

You can specify the dump options from the Dump/Trace Selection screen to view, delete, hold, or release dumps or view the status.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Dump/Trace Selection screen.
  2. Specify one of the following options:

    Note: You can specify an option for more than one dump.

    S

    Displays the dump online. If you specify S next to more than one dump, CA SymDump for CICS displays the dumps in the order in which they are listed. After viewing the first dump, press PF3 to display the next selected dump.

    D

    Deletes the dump. If you specify D next to one or more dumps, the system asks you to press Enter to confirm the deletions. Only dumps on the CA SymDump for CICS PROTDMP data set can be deleted.

    H

    Holds the dump and prevents it from being deleted. A dump placed on Hold can be selected for viewing or released.

    Note: This command is equivalent to the Lock command in the IN25DMPU utility.

    R

    Releases a dump that is being held.

    Note: This command is equivalent to the Unlock command in the IN25DMPU utility.

    I

    Shows occurrences of that specific abend, along with the dumps that were captured, force captured, or suppressed. Selecting I for a dump with duplicates displays the Duplicate Suppression History panel.
