Kpp_X_AGT_SDUMP_SVC_SYS1_DUMP

Parameter name

SDUMP(&XPPDSVC) (Generate SVC dump)

Default value

Y

Permissible values

Y, N, S ,M

Generate SVC dump

This parameter determines whether SVC dumps are generated.

Y directs the SVC dump to a system dump data set (SYS1.DUMPxx). Before you specify Y as the value of this parameter, ensure that the TMS:Engine job step is APF-authorized and that the SYS1.DUMPxx data sets are large enough to hold the contents of the TMS:Engine address space.

N directs formatted dumps to the RKLVSNAP data set. Avoid formatted dumps if possible because they disable the TMS:Engine address space for a longer time than either SVC dumps or SYSMDUMPs, and are more difficult to analyze.

S directs summary dumps to the RKLVSNAP data set. A summary dump consistes 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.

M directs ABEND dumps to the data set with the SYSMDUMP DD name. This type of dump is not formatted by the operating system and must be analyzed with IPCS. Only the first dump taken is captured in the SYSMDUMP data set unless JCL specifies DISP=MOD. TMS:Engine automatically initializes the SYSMDUMP data set with an end-of-file mark.

The default for the monitoring agent SDUMP is Y.
