Action commands

Table 193 shows the action commands you can issue from the SYSDUMP view. The overtype fields are shown in Table 194.

Table 193. SYSDUMP view action commands
Primary command Line command Description
CREate n/a Displays the CICS SYSTEM DUMP CODE input panel (Figure 96), which lets you create a new system dump code.
INItialize
dumpcode sysname
INI Initializes the number of dump calls for a system dump code to 0.
REMove
dumpcode sysname
REM Removes a system dump code from the dump code table.
n/a SET Sets a system dump attribute according to the new value you specify in an overtype field (see Table 194).
Note:
The value you specified in the Require Set field on the CICSPlex® System Manager entry panel determines whether or not you must use the SET command when you overtype a field.
Where:
dumpcode
Is a specific CICS system dump code. dumpcode cannot be a generic value because CICSPlex SM considers the asterisk (*) and plus sign (+) to be valid characters in a dump code.
sysname
Is the specific or generic name of a CICS system.

Table 194. SYSDUMP view overtype fields
Field name Values
Dump Option YES | NO
Max Dumps 0-999

When you issue the CREATE action command from the SYSDUMP view, the CICS SYSTEM DUMP CREATE input panel appears, as shown in Figure 96.
