PM28951: EDMPSNAP DIAGNOSTIC DUMP

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During OMPE data collection, certain data exceptions are
  expected and handled by the code. In the normal course of
  collecting data from an active DB2 subsystem, storage may be
  freed, threads may terminate, and other normal processing may
  result in conditions changing during a data collection cycle.
  
  During the course of collecting data for EDM pool statistics, if
  an excessive number of exceptions are encountered OMPE may take
  a dump for diagnostic purposes. The dump title will read
  OMPE V410 EDMPSNAP DIAGNOSTIC DUMP
  even for OMPE V420. The dump title can be seen by issuing the D
  D,T (display dump title) command through a zOS console
  interface.
  
  This issue is not typically a problem unless it is occurring
  frequently or users begin reporting issues related to EDM Pool
  information.
  
  If the dump is loaded to IPCS and the user selects Option 2
  Analysis, followed by Option 1 Symptoms, the following symptom
  string will be seen.
  PIDS/5655OPE00 RIDS/KO2XDB2  RIDS/PROCDSC  ADRS/002556 LVLS/410

Local fix

• The dump can be ignored.
  
  If customer has DAE, it will not generate the dump next time
  when EDMPOOL Snapshot has issues with CBs.
