save file
A file created through the Native Inspect, Inspect, or Debug products. A file created by the Inspect
subsystem in response to a command from a debugger. A save file contains enough information
about a running process at a given time to restart the process at the same point in its execution.
A save file contains an image of the process, data for the process, and the status of the process
at the time the save file was created.
A save file can be created through an Inspect SAVE command at any time. A save file called a
saveabend file can be created when a process’s SAVEABEND attribute is set and the process
terminates abnormally. Other debuggers can create a save file but refer to the result as a process
snapshot file. See also process snapshot file.
saveabend file
A file containing dump information needed by the system debugging tool. (In UNIX systems, such
files are usually called core files or core dump files.) A saveabend file is a special case of a save
file. See also save file and process snapshot file.
saved-set group ID
An Open System Services (OSS) process attribute that stores a group ID so that the group ID can
later be used as the effective group ID of the process.
saved-set user ID
An Open System Services (OSS) process attribute that stores a user ID so that the user ID can later
be used as the effective user ID of the process.
SBB
See ServerNet buffer board (SBB).
