Finding a DBD in a dump

When you analyze problems that involve a DBD, it is necessary to obtain an SVC dump that contains the DBD or a dump that is produced by REPAIR, DSN1COPY or DSN1PRNT.

If you use an SVC dump that contains the DBD to analyze the inconsistency, be aware that the DBD that appears in the dump is not contained in DBD01 records, but rather in memory as one contiguous block or a chain of DBD blocks. Also, the area of memory that appears in the SVC dump might not include the entire DBD. To obtain a REPAIR, DSN1COPY or DSN1PRNT dump of the DBD, you need to know which DBD is involved and follow the steps under Analyzing a repair, DSN1COPY or DSN1PRNT dump.

If you do not know which DBD is involved and are unable to obtain a dump, contact an IBM® support center.
