Performing diagnostics after unplanned takeovers

If the takeover was unplanned, use existing procedures to determine the cause of the takeover on the failed active subsystem.

You might, for example:

  • Request service aid information using a z/OS® MODIFY IMS,DUMP command.
  • Perform problem determination.
  • Identify the component that caused the subsystem to fail.
  • If the subsystem is dumping, let it continue.
