Dumping a named counter list structure

You can use the MVS™ DUMP command to obtain a dump of the coupling facility list structure for a named counter pool.

1. Enter the following command at the console:

   DUMP COMM=(named_counter_poolname) 

2. In response to the DUMP command, the system prompts you with a reply number for the dump options you want to specify. Enter the reply:

   REPLY nn,STRLIST=(STRNAME=DFHNCLS_poolname,ACCESSTIME=NOLIMIT,
            (LISTNUM=ALL,ADJUNCT=DIRECTIO)),END

   Using abbreviations for the keywords, this reply can be entered as:

   R nn,STL=(STRNAME=DFHNCLS_poolname,ACC=NOLIM,(LNUM=ALL,ADJ=DIO)),END

   The parameter ACCESSTIME=NOLIMIT allows XES to override server access time limits, to obtain serialization to take the dump. Without this parameter, no dump is taken if any server is active.

   The parameter ADJUNCT=DIRECTIO notifies XES not to keep the serialization while dumping adjunct areas. If servers are currently active but it is considered important to obtain a serialized dump, to show the structure at a moment in time, replace this parameter with ADJUNCT=CAPTURE. Note that this will lock out server access to the structure until the dump is complete.

   If system-managed structure duplexing is available, then both instances of the structure will be dumped.
