CEMT PERFORM DUMP|SNAP

Obtain a CICS® system dump.

Description

To get a CICS system to dump and continue processing, you can use either the CEMT PERFORM DUMP command or the CEMT PERFORM SNAP command. Both commands produce a “snapshot” of the CICS system.

The use of CEMT PERFORM DUMP or CEMT PERFORM SNAP prevents all other tasks from running. Consequently, application or service users might experience delays in response.
