- AUTODMP=NO
- Indicates that the VTAM® operator is to be asked whether a dump should be taken.
- AUTODMP=YES
- Indicates the dump is taken automatically.
The AUTODMP operand is valid only if you code a DUMPDS operand in this PCCU definition statement. Otherwise, no NCP dump can be taken. (See DUMPDS for a description of DUMPDS.) After the dump, (or dumps, if more than one host takes a dump), VTAM interprets the AUTOIPL setting to determine whether it should load another copy of the same NCP and restart it.
If the operator specifies DUMPLOAD=YES in the VARY ACT command for a 3720 or 3745 communication controller, or if DUMPLD=YES is specified on this PCCU definition statement, the communication controller attempts to dump and load the NCP. If the dump and load by the communication controller is successful, the AUTODMP and AUTOIPL operands are ignored.
In an NCP for a communication controller that is attached by multiple channels, more than one PCCU definition statement can have AUTODMP=YES.
