SET PATHMON
DUMP {ON | OFF}
specifies whether the PATHMON process writes its data stack information and the 
contents of its configuration file to a dump file if the PATHMON process encounters 
an internal error.
If you omit this attribute, the default is OFF. 
ON
directs the PATHMON process to write the information in its data stack and the 
contents of its configuration file to a dump file and then to set this option to 
OFF. The information is written to an internally-named file that resides on the 
same volume and subvolume as the PATHCTL configuration file for that 
PATHMON process. Dump-file names are in the format ZZPMnnn, where nnn 
is an internally-assigned unique name.
OFF
directs the PATHMON process not to write data stack and PATHMON 
configuration file information to a file when it encounters an internal error.
Example
The following statement assigns NODE objects NODE1 and NODE 24 for the 
PATHMON process, specifies the name $PM1 for the first (well-known) named 
PATHMON process, and turns on the DUMP option:
SET PATHMON NODES (NODE1, NODE24), PROCESS $PM1, DUMP ON
