Offline dump formatting operations

IMS operators need to be aware that their intervention might be required if a dump is requested at a time when the dump data sets are unavailable or when some other task in the z/OS® system is currently taking an SDUMP.

In these situations, IMS issues message DFS3906 or DFS3907. In addition, CCTL operators must be aware that the CCTL can issue these messages when the IMS database resource adapter (DRA) is trying to generate an SDUMP.
