Stopping or modifying DSN1SDMP traces

You can stop and modify DSN1SDMP traces.

Procedure

To stop the DSN1SDMP utility:

Issue a STOP TRACE command.

For example, if the DSN1SDMP utility does not finish, you can might stop it by issuing the following command:

-STOP TRACE=P CLASS(32)

DSN1SDMP executes as a stand-alone batch utility without requiring external intervention from the console operator or other programs. During execution, DSN1SDMP issues an IFI READA request to obtain the data from the OPn buffer and a STOP TRACE command to terminate the original trace that is started by DSN1SDMP.

A STOP TRACE or MODIFY TRACE command that is entered from a console for the trace that is started by DSN1SDMP causes immediate abnormal termination of DSN1SDMP processing. The IFI READA function terminates with an appropriate IFI termination message and reason code. Additional error messages and reason codes that are associated with the DSN1SDMP STOP TRACE command vary depending on the specific trace command that is entered by the console operator.

If the console operator terminates the original trace by using the STOP TRACE command, the subsequent STOP TRACE command that is issued by DSN1SDMP fails.

If the console operator enters a MODIFY TRACE command and processing of this command completes before the STOP TRACE command is issued by DSN1SDMP, the modified trace is also terminated.
