Using database diagnostic tools

You can use the pidu command to write the definitions in the Printer Inventory to a file. The pidu dump command writes to a UNIX file or to an MVS™ data set. It does not write to stdout.

To dump all the PSF FSS and PSF FSA definitions in the Printer Inventory to the file you specify, enter this command on the z/OS® UNIX command line:

pidu -c 'dump filename; '

Example:

pidu -c 'dump /tmp/inventory.dump;'       

Note: The service representative in the IBM® Support Center might ask you to set the AOPDUMPON environment variable to capture more detailed dump information for an internal error. If so, the representative will tell you how and where to set the variable, and where to send the dump information.
