ZPWY-DDL-DUMP-INFO
For more information on TCPs, see the Pathway/iTS System Management Manual.
ZDUMP
enables or disables memory dumping. The valid values are:
ZDUMPFILE
specifies the name of the file that the PATHMON process or TCP creates for its
dump operation. The valid values are:
[\node] [.$volume] [.subvol] [.filename]
[ \* ]
The node name can be either a specific node name or \*, a generic name
representing the node on which the PATHMON process is currently running. If you
do not specify a node name, the default node for the file-name expansion is
determined by the value you specify for the ZNODEINDEPENDENT field of the
START PATHWAY command.
If a file error interferes with creating a file that you specify, the PATHMON process
creates the dump file on the same subvolume as its program object file and uses
the form ZZPMnnn for the file name.
If you do not specify a file name, the PATHMON process creates its dump file on
the same volume and subvolume as the PATHMON configuration file. The format
of the file names are ZZPMnnP and ZZPMnnB, where nn is a number from 01 to
10, and P and B indicate the primary or the backup process, respectively, that the
PATHMON process dumped.

end.
ZPWY-VAL-OFF Directs the PATHMON process or the TCP not to write data
stack information to a file when it encounters an internal or
fatal error. This is the default value.
ZPWY-VAL-ON Directs the PATHMON process or the TCP to create one or
more disk files and write the contents of its data stack and its
extended data segment to these files.
After creating 10 primary process and 10 backup process
dump files, the PATHMON process and the TCP stop
performing memory dumps. This prevents writing over
existing dump files that may indicate the original cause of a
problem, and prevents filling a disk with dump files.
