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 }
