The following example shows an INFO DUMPS command that produces a report of
currently assigned audit dumps to disk:
28> TMFCOM/ OUT $S.#DUMP1/
TMF 6> INFO DUMPS *.*.*, STATUS ASSIGNED, TYPE AUDITDUMP, &
>>>DETAIL, MEDIUM DISK
You should issue the following command at least weekly to make sure that dump files
are being kept for the proper length of time for file recovery:
INFO DUMPS, DETAIL, SORT BYSERIAL, STATUS RELEASED
In the output from this INFO DUMPS command, look for the files that are old and that
the catalog might have been trying to delete but could not for some reason. If there
are unneeded files listed, delete them, using the DELETE DUMPS command (see
Removing Tape Volumes from the Catalog on page 6-14).

The INFO DUMPS command allows you to use the <file-name> specifier to identify
a file that contains one or more file-name patterns. These patterns, in turn, designate
files for which information is to be retrieved. With the <file-name> specifier, you
can specify many more files within a single INFO DUMPS command than is possible
by just specifying a file set. As an example, the following command retrieves
information for all files listed in the <file-name> file <$LA.SUN.NPFILE>:
TMF 7> INFO DUMPS <$LA.SUN.NPFILE>
Refer to the TMF Reference Manual for information about the reports produced by the
INFO DUMPS command. This command provides a SORT option that lets you display
the dump information either alphabetically by file name or by dump serial number in
descending order. OBEYFORM (another INFO DUMPS option) offers an easy way to
prepare command files for adding dumps to the TMF catalog (see Adding Dump
Entries Through Command Files on page 6-8). OBEYFORM also provides reports of
recorded dumps.
