TFDSCOM Commands
•
This example specifies a file ($ALPHA.TFDS.DMPDTAIL) to be included in the
next failure data collection only:
ACQUIREFILES $ALPHA.TFDS.DMPDTAIL TEMP
•
This example specifies all files in a volume ($ALPHA) and subvolume (BETA) that
begin with TFD00 are always to be included when collecting failure data:
ACQUIREFILES $ALPHA.BETA.TFD00*
ANALYZE
The ANALYZE command requests a processor dump when the processor is down.
FILENAME name
instructs TFDS to analyze the specified processor dump; name is a valid processor
dump file name.
CPU num
instructs TFDS to analyze the halted processor specified by num. Valid processor
numbers range from 0 through 15.
Guidelines
•
Invoking the ANALYZE command causes an event to be issued and an entry to be
added to the incident database. If OSM is configured for automatic dial-out, the
event generated is dialed out to your service provider.
•
This command does not override the AUTODUMP setting. If AUTODUMP is set to
OFF, no dump is generated. Similarly, if the analysis indicates that this incident is a
duplicate of an incident in the incident database (and DUMPOVERRIDE is set to
OFF), no dump is generated.
•
ANALYZE FILENAME also creates a snapshot file for analysis with Visual Inspect.
(For more information, see SNAPSHOTFROMDUMP on page 2-19.)
Examples
•
This example causes TFDS to analyze the dump file located at
$DATA00.DUMPS.CPU3:
ANALYZE FILENAME $DATA00.DUMPS.CPU3
•
This example causes TFDS to analyze the halted processor 3:
ANALYZE CPU 3
ANALYZE { FILENAME name }
{ CPU num }
