SDUMP

The SDUMP (SDU) service takes an SVC dump of one or more address spaces.

The SDUMP service works in conjunction with the SYSDUMP service (which lists the SVC dump data sets). See SYSDUMP for more information.

Syntax

GUID-861664E3-1777-4629-972F-0495E97EBA7D-low.pngThe parameters are defined as follows:

Parameter

Description

asi

address space instance; see Identifying-address-spaces for more information

title

is the title of the dump

This is an optional positional parameter. If this value is omitted, the SDUMP service generates a title containing relevant information, including the ASID of each dumped address space.

BMC recommends that you not specify a value for this parameter.

ALLNUC

includes the DAT-ON and DAT-OFF nuclei in the display; these areas are not dumped by default

ALLPSA

includes all of the prefixed storage areas (PSAs) in the system; these areas are not dumped by default

NUC

includes the nonpage-protected areas of the DAT-ON nucleus in the display; these areas are not dumped by default

NOCSA

suppresses display of the CSA and ECSA subpools; these areas are dumped by default

NOGRSQ

suppresses display of the global resource serialization control blocks; these control blocks are dumped by default

NOLPA

suppresses display of the active link-pack area modules and SVCs; these areas are dumped by default

NOLSQA

suppresses display of the LSQA and ELSQA subpools; these subpools are dumped by default

NOPSA

suppresses display of the PSA for one processor, which is either the processor at the time of the error or the processor at the time of the dump; the PSA is dumped by default

NORGN

suppresses display of the allocated pages in the address space’s private area; these pages are dumped by default

NOSQA

suppresses display of the SQA and ESQA subpools; these subpools are dumped by default

NOSUMDUMP

suppresses display of a summary dump; this dump is included by default

NOSWA

suppresses display of the scheduler work area subpools for the address space; these subpools are dumped by default

NOTRT

suppresses display of the system trace table, the GTF trace records, and master track data, if these traces are active; these areas are dumped by default

Warning

Note

These areas are defined by IBM. For more information, see the IBM publication,MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Reference, Volume 3.

Example

To obtain an SVC dump of three address spaces, type

SDUMP (.PAS,.CAS,(1))

 AMTSD7I SVC dump in progress                           
 AMTSDTI Token='BBPLEX01 SJSD     10/29/2013 17:50:00'  

 AMTSD2I COMPLETE dump has been taken for:              

 AMTSDJI ASID  Fully Qualified Name                     
 AMTSDKI ----  --------------------                     
 AMTSDBI 002F  DC$PAS.PAS                               
 AMTSDBI 002E  DC$CAS.CAS                               
 AMTSDBI 0001  *MASTER*                                 
 AMT001A SYSPROG
  • The names of the address spaces are enclosed within parentheses, indicating that they are subparameters of the first parameter.
  • The third address space is defined by its ASID, instead of its name, by enclosing the ASID within parentheses. The ASID is assumed to be a decimal value unless preceded by an X, which would indicate a value in hexadecimal (for example, X1).
  • No dump options were specified (third and subsequent parameter positions); therefore, the default dump options are used.
