Requesting DB2 SVC dumps

You can use the system console DUMP command to request a DB2® supervisor call (SVC) dump.

Before you begin

Set up a customized member in the SYS1.PARMLIB partitioned data set before issuing the DUMP command. All jobs must be active; otherwise, DB2 does not produce a dump on the system on which you enter the dump command. If you do not specify a JOBNAME for a remote system, a dump of the entire DUMPSERV address space might be generated. Also ensure that your system is not suppressing the generation of SVC dumps.

Procedure

Issue the DUMP command from the system console. For example, to use the IEADMCD1 member of the SYS1.PARMLIB partitioned data set, issue the following DUMP command:

DUMP TITLE=(DUMP OF DB2 production),PARMLIB=(D1)
