TFDSCOM Commands
DUMPOVERRIDE
The DUMPOVERRIDE command instructs TFDS always to collect a processor dump
after a processor has halted, overriding the normal TFDS operation that suppresses
processor dumps for duplicate incidents.
ON
instructs TFDS to collect a processor dump after a processor has halted.
OFF
instructs TFDS not to collect a processor dump after a processor has halted. The
default DUMPOVERRIDE setting is OFF.
Guidelines
•
You can use the abbreviation do in place of DUMPOVERRIDE.
•
The DUMPOVERRIDE setting is OFF by default to provide for the most efficient
system operation. The first time a unique incident (one that does not exist in the
incident database) is detected, a processor dump is collected (assuming
AUTODUMP is ON). Recurrences of the same incident (another incident in the
same program, same spot in the program, and same halt code) suppress the
collection of a processor dump.
•
Set DUMPOVERRIDE to ON only when you want to collect a processor dump for
every processor HALT. If you need an additional processor dump for a particular
incident, use the INCIDENT DUMPOVERRIDE command.
Example
DUMPOVERRIDE OFF
DUMPVOLUME
The DUMPVOLUME command specifies the disk volume on which TFDS attempts to
create the files required to dump processor memory contents.
volume
specifies the disk volume where TFDS generates the dump.
%
specifies the percentage of free disk space required to exist after the dump-related
files are created.
