Editing the DAE data set

Edit the DAE data set, using Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) edit. For ISPF edit, see z/OS ISPF Dialog Developer's Guide and Reference. You must have WRITE access to the DAE data set. Once in ISPF Edit, use the Edit macro ADYUPDAT as described below.

In the edit session, type one of the following on the command line, place the cursor on the symptom string line for the dump, and press ENTER. If the cursor is on the command line, the first symptom string is used. Note that DAE must be stopped before these actions and started again after.
ADYUPDAT TAKEDUMP
ADYUPDAT NODUMP

ADYUPDAT TAKEDUMP requests that the next dump be generated for this symptom string. SLIP can still suppress the dump.

ADYUPDAT NODUMP undoes the effect of TAKEDUMP, if it was in effect. Otherwise, NODUMP results in no action.

In the edit session, you can also delete every symptom string that has not been updated within a specified number of days. You must SAVE the DAE data set for the deletions to take effect. To request the deletions, enter on the command line:
ADYUPDAT CLEANUP nnn
nnn
number of days a record has not been updated for it to be selected for deletion. The default is 60 days.

ADYUPDAT always issues a status message reflecting the outcome of the command.
