CONTROL TCP Command
Both the primary and backup dump files are created on volume $DATA using
subvolume PWAYDMPS. The P (primary TCP dump) and B (backup TCP
dump) characters replace the last character of an eight-character name, or are
appended to the end of a shorter dump file name. If the dump file already
exists when the dump operation occurs, the TCPs reuse the existing file by
purging the file’s information and writing the latest memory dump.
If a file-system error interferes with creating a file that you specify, the TCP
creates the dump file on the same subvolume as its program object file and
uses the form ZZTCPnnx for the file name.
If you do not specify file-name, the TCP creates its dump file on the same
volume and subvolume as the PATHMON configuration file. The format of the
file names are ZZTCPnnP and ZZTCPnnB, where nn is a number from 01 to
10, and P and B indicate the primary or the backup process, respectively, that
the TCP dumped.
OFF
directs the TCP not to write data stack information to a file when it encounters
an internal or fatal error.
DUMPMEMORY { PRIMARY | BACKUP | BOTH } [ ( FILE file-name ) ]
forces the TCP to write the contents of its data stack and its extended data
segment to a file.
PRIMARY
specifies a memory dump of the primary TCP process only. Use this option
unless a TCP is reporting errors from its backup process.
BACKUP
specifies a memory dump of the backup TCP process only. Use this option if a
TCP is reporting errors from its backup process.
BOTH
specifies a memory dump of both the primary and the backup TCP process.
Use this option if a TCP is reporting errors from its backup process and you
also want a dump of the primary TCP.
FILE file-name
specifies the name of the file that the TCP creates for its dump operation. The
format of the file name can be any of the following:
[\node.]$volume.subvolume
[\node.]$volume.subvolume.ZZ
[\node.]$volume.subvolume.filename
