EMS Messages

Cause. TFDS received a CPU DOWN message, and the AUTODUMP flag is set to

OFF.

Effect. A dump is not generated. The processor status for TFDS is CPU DOWN, NO

DUMP.

Recovery. Either force the dump through TFDSCOM (set the AUTODUMP flag to ON

and use the ANALYZE command) or reload the processor manually.

Cause. TFDS generated a dump for a downed processor, and the AUTORELOAD flag

is set to OFF.

Effect. An automatic reload is not enabled. The processor remains down, pending

operator intervention.

Recovery. Generate a manual request of the RELOAD command, not a TFDSCOM

command. It usually takes the form: RELOAD n, PRIME.

Cause. TFDS started a backup operation, but the tape unit is not ready.

Effect. The dump files cannot be saved on tape. The backup is waiting for a device.

TFDS *0001* $ZDMP : DUMP configured off; No DUMP for CPU : nn

Note. Leaving the AUTODUMP flag set to ON on completion of the ANALYZE command

enables TFDS to automatically initiate a dump the next time it receives a CPU DOWN

message.

Exceptions: Neither setting the AUTODUMP flag to ON nor using the ANALYZE command

generates a dump if TFDS determines that the cause of the CPU DOWN message is a

recurrence of an incident already known to the TFDS incidents database. You can override this

default and force a dump by using the INCIDENT DUMPOVERRIDE command (for one specific

occurrence) or setting the DUMPOVERRIDE configuration parameter to ON (for all future

occurrences).
