Space announcement This documentation space provides the same content as before, but the organization of the content has changed. The content is now organized based on logical branches instead of legacy book titles. We hope that the new structure will help you quickly find the content that you need.

GRS considerations

You can customize Abend-AID so that a given viewing server and its associated files are accessible by more than one MVS system. We recommend that you do not do this unless you have Global Resource Serialization (GRS) or an equivalent product installed in order to ensure the integrity of the following files:

  • Customization file
  • Shared directory
  • Dump information file
  • Transaction databases.

Abend-AID issues an enqueue with SCOPE=SYSTEM when accessing these files, with the following qnames:

  • ABENDAID
  • ABENDDAM
  • ABENDSMF
  • CWCATALG
  • PDVSFILE.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
