RETRY-DUMP
RETRY-DUMP
The RETRY-DUMP command sets the number of attempts TFDS makes to dump
memory contents if the initial dump is unsuccessful.
retry-number
represents the number of times TFDS attempts to dump a processor. The dump
range is 0 through 2. The default value is 1.
RELOAD-ON-FAILURE
lets the processor automatically reload despite the failure of a TFDS dump.
Guideline
If the TFDS dump fails and the RELOAD-ON-FAILURE option is specified, the
processor is still reloaded. The processor remains down if the TFDS dump fails and the
RELOAD-ON-FAILURE is not specified. This approach lets you continue efforts to
obtain a valid processor dump.
