Dump domain: System dump global statistics

You can retrieve system dump global statistics by using the EXEC CICS EXTRACT STATISTICS SYSDUMPCODE command. They are mapped by the DFHSDGDS DSECT. These statistics fields contain the global data collected by the dump domain for system dumps.

Table 1. Dump domain: Global statistics for system dump
DFHSTUP name Field name Description
Dumps taken SYS_DUMPS_TAKEN The number of system dumps taken by the whole system during the present run of CICS®. This number does not include suppressed dumps. A set of related dumps may be taken across the sysplex if the dump code includes the RELATED option. In this case, the count is incremented by one for the CICS system which initiated the dump. The number is unchanged for all other CICS systems even if they have issued a dump as part of the related request.

Reset characteristic: reset to zero

Dumps suppressed SYS_DUMPS_SUPPR The number of system dumps, requested from the dump domain by CICS or by a user, which were suppressed by one of the following:
  • A user exit
  • The dump table
  • A global system dump suppression

Reset characteristic: reset to zero
