You initiate online dumps with the DUMP FILES command, as described in Section 5,
Online Dumps. A single online dump can include many audited files that share a
unique dump serial number.
Displaying the Catalog
Use the INFO DUMPS command to see dump media information recorded in the TMF
catalog. The INFO DUMPS command allows you to specify selection criteria to control
the scope and detail of the report generated, sort by files or serial number, or specify a
type or status.
Any user allowed to use TMFCOM can use the INFO DUMPS command, whether or
not TMF is running.
The following example shows an INFO DUMPS command that produces a report of
online dumps to tape that are currently needed by TMF recovery processes (assigned
tapes):
27> TMFCOM/ OUT $S.#DUMP1/
TMF 1> INFO DUMPS *.*.*, STATUS ASSIGNED, TYPE ONLINEDUMP, &
>>>DETAIL, SORT BYSERIAL, MEDIUM TAPE
