DUMP

This command takes a system dump of the SVTS and SVTSAS address spaces and the VCAT dataspace. Whenever a problem is encountered, issue this command to document the current settings, control information, and status of internal processes for the multiple address spaces.

When Dynamic Dump Dsname is active in the operating system, the address space requesting the dump is built into the dump data set name. Because the SVTn DUMP console command is executed from the operating system console, the generated dump data set name will contain the console id.

The QUE subparameter causes the dump command to be executed from the SVTS address space. The SVTS address space name will then appear in the dump data set name. The only drawback to using the QUE subparameter is that if the CA Vtape command processor or scheduler is hung, the command may not execute. In this case, the SVTn DUMP format of the command is required to produce the dump.

The dump produced by using this command will contain an internal title of "Dump Requested – subsystem-id sysname".
