KI5_X_AGT_SDUMP_SVC_SYS1_DUMP

Do not modify this parameter except under the guidance of IBM® Software Support. This command generates SVC memory dumps.
Required or optional
Required
Location where the parameter value is stored
The KI5SYSIN member of the rhilev.midlev.rtename.xKANPARU library where x is R, W, or I.
Parameter name
SDUMP(&XI5DSVC)
Default value
Y
Permissible values
Y, N, S or M
  • The Y parameter value directs the SVC memory dump to a system memory dump data set (SYS1.DUMPxx). Before you specify the Y value, ensure that the TMS:Enginejob step is APF-authorized and that the SYS1.DUMPxx data sets are large enough to contain the contents of the TMS:Engine address space.
  • The N parameter value directs formatted memory dumps to the RKLVSNAP data set. If possible, avoid formatted memory dumps. These types of memory dumps disable the TMS:Engine address space for a longer time than either SVC memory dumps or SYSMDUMPs, and are more difficult to analyze.
  • The S parameter value directs summary memory dumps to the RKLVSNAP data set. A summary memory dump consists of an ABEND summary and dispatcher summary and does not provide enough information for reliable problem analysis. Use this setting for specific testing purposes only.
  • The M parameter value directs ABEND dumps to the data set with the SYSMDUMP DD name. This type of memory dump is not formatted by the operating system and must be analyzed with IPCS. Only the first memory dump that is taken is captured in the SYSMDUMP data set unless JCL specifies DISP=MOD. The TMS:Engine automatically initializes the SYSMDUMP data set with an end-of-file mark.
