CICS® produces two types of dump: transaction dumps
that CICS writes to CICS transaction dump data sets; and MVS™ system
dumps (SVC dumps) via the MVS SDUMP macro. CICS provides two utility
programs to help you analyze these dumps. These are:
The transaction dump utility program, DFHDU640, for processing
CICS transaction dumps, as described in this section.
The dump exit that is invoked via the interactive problem control
system (IPCS) for processing either MVS SDUMP dumps that CICS takes,
or CICS jobs in SVC dumps that are taken by the MVS dump command.
You can use IPCS either interactively or from an MVS batch job. For
more information about using IPCS, see Using IPCS to format and analyze CICS dumps: Overview.
