This section describes SVC Dumps and JCL procedures:

SVC Dump Data Sets

CA Deliver issues SVC dumps (SDUMP) for certain types of abends. These dumps are written to the MVS SYS1.DUMPnn. data sets. Contact your systems programmer to verify that the data sets are allocated with at least 100 cylinders.

Dump Analysis and Elimination

The SDUMP program supports MVS dump analysis and elimination processing. This MVS feature eliminates the possibility that duplicate SVC dumps might be written to the SYS1.DUMPnn. data sets.

To use this MVS feature, the SYS1.DAE data set must be allocated and the following parameter members must be updated in SYS1.PARMLIB:

IEACMDxx
SET DAE = xx

where xx identifies the ADYSETxx. member

ADYSETxx
DAE=START,RECORDS(sss),SVCDUMP(MATCH,UPDATE,SUPPRESS)

where sss is the number of records in SYS1.DAE.

System Dump Parameters

CA Deliver allocates storage from MVS subpool 230.

For this storage area to be dumped correctly, the IEADMRxx. member in SYS1.PARMLIB should contain the SDATA RGN parameter:

SDATA=(...,RGN,...)

The IEADMPxx. member in SYS1.PARMLIB should contain the SDATA LSQA parameter:

SDATA=(...,LSQA,...)

Important! If these dump parameters are not specified as shown in the previous example, certain storage areas might be missing from dumps, which can hinder support efforts.

JCL Procedures

During product installation, the procedures are copied into CBRNPROC, the CAI Common Procedure Library. These procedures are used later during normal execution of CA Deliver.

We recommend that you add the CVDEPROC library to the system PROCLIB concatenation.
