Setting up a customized Db2 SVC dump

You can add customized parameters to the IEADMCxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB to simplify the operator interface to create Db2 supervisor call (SVC) dumps.

About this task

You can minimize then number of DUMP commands you enter by setting up a customized PARMLIB member before the error event.

Procedure

Create an IEADMCxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB partitioned data set that contains parameters for a customized Db2 SVC dump on several subsystems. In the following example, member IEADMCD1 specifies customized options that are to be invoked by the DUMP command:

/*                                                
THIS GETS INVOKED VIA CONSOLE COMMAND:            
DUMP COMM=(...),PARMLIB=D1                        
*/                                                
TITLE=('DUMP OF DSNT1 GROUP')                     
JOBNAME=(XCFAS,DT1*),                             
SDATA=(XESDATA,COUPLE,PSA,LPA,RGN,CSA,SUM,TRT),
REMOTE=(SYSLIST=(STLABBB('XCFAS','DT11*'),        
        STLABB6('XCFAS','DT12*'),                 
        STLABBC('XCFAS','DT13*'),                 
        STLABB7('XCFAS','DT14*')),SDATA), 
END

In this example, wildcard characters are used to specify multiple parameter values to create dumps on multiple subsystems. The wildcard character * (asterisk) indicates multiple characters, and the wildcard character ? (question mark) indicates a single character.
