Landis & Staefa Division Function RPT 2-287
2.28.21 DRPT, Dialogue Report
This report type is used internally by the system but is not available to the user.
2.28.22 PMD, Post Mortem Dump
The PMD report is used for system diagnostics.
The report's contents can be analysed by L&G specialists only.
The PMD report can be accessed in two different ways:
•
via the function PMD
•
via RPT, PMD
This makes it possible to define a special access level for the PMD report.
The reports produced are identical in both cases.
When a major system error occurs, causing a system restart, the VISONIK DCS
automatically saves all memory contents to the hard disk first. These data can provide
information on the cause of the system error.
Following the system restart, which is executed automatically by the VISONIK DCS, a
so-called 'diagnostic dump' is output on terminal T1.

Memory is stored for function PMD.
The memory contents having been saved on the hard disk when the error occurred, the
most recent diagnostic dump can be repeated at any time up to the next diagnostic
dump using the function PMD or RPT, PMD.
Whilst the spontaneous printout shows the most crucial register contents and memory
locations, the PMD printout shows all relevant operating system and process data in
extended form.
Whenever a diagnostic dump is output on terminal T1 it is important to generate a PMD
report via PMD or RPT, PMD as soon as possible after the restart of the DCS!
The error that occurred can only be properly analysed using this listing. Appropriate
corrective measures can then be recommended or actioned.
