Collecting SVC dumps of the Gateway daemon address space

The IBM® support organization might request an SVC dump of the Gateway address space, or a problem might cause an SVC dump to be generated. Options are available for ensuring that information about the required components is captured.

Use the following command (or a similar command) to set the required dump options:

CD SET,SDUMP=(ALLPSA,SQA,SUMDUMP,NUC,RGN,LPA,TRT,CSA,GRSQ) 

To take an SVC dump of a running Gateway daemon, use the following command sequence, setting the recommended options specifically for this dump instance:

DUMP COMM=(<Dump Title>)
R xx,SDATA=(<Dump Options>),CONT
R xx,JOBNAME=(<CICSTG Jobname>,OMVS),CONT 
R xx,DSPNAME=('OMVS'.*),END 

The command is shown split over several replies due to the restricted space available on the MVS system command line. You can enter it through the extended console command line as a single command:

DUMP COMM=(<Dump Title>),SDATA=(<Dump Options>),JOBNAME=(<CICSTG Jobname>,
OMVS),DSPNAME=('OMVS'.*)

The system log shows the result of the command, including the name of SVC dump data set, if successful.
