Finding abend information, system dumps, and messages
This section shows, in general, where to find abend information,
system dumps, and messages that the IBM® service
representative might ask you to locate. The exact locations depend
on your particular installation.
Table 7 shows where to find the abend information
and system dumps that the IBM service
representative might ask you to locate. However, dumps might not be
available if Dump Analysis and Elimination (DAE) suppressed them.
Table 8 shows where to find the messages that the IBM service representative might
ask you to locate.

| Console log | All Infoprint Server components. | | | /var/Printsrv directory | This is the default base directory for Infoprint Server. | Your installation might have specified a
different base directory in the base-directory attribute
in the Infoprint Server
configuration file, aopd.conf. | | The current working directory | You entered a z/OS® UNIX command. | For example, you entered the pidu command. | | The home directory | You ran the AOPBATCH program. | | | The Language Environment® CEEDUMP directory | Language
Environment writes CEEDUMPs to one of these directories, in the
specified order:
- The directory found in the _CEE_DMPTARG environment variable,
if found
- The current working directory, if the directory is not the root
directory (/) and if the Language Environment can write to the directory
- The directory found in the TMPDIR environment variable, which
indicates the location of a temporary directory if it is not /tmp
- The /tmp directory
For more information about CEEDUMPs, see z/OS Language Environment Debugging Guide. |
You can specify the _CEE_DMPTARG and
TMPDIR environment variables in these locations:
- The aopstart EXEC
- Your .profile or the /etc/profile file,
if you entered a z/OS UNIX command
- The data set indicated in the STDENV DD statement for the
AOPBATCH program
