Unexpected dumps

Because CICSPlex® SM has a presence in two major parts of your environment, MVS™ and CICS®, unexpected dumps may be produced at either level.

CICSPlex SM dumps under MVS

MVS can cause a dump to be taken for a CICSPlex SM component in the CAS, a CMAS, or a TSO address space. This type of dump is an indication of a problem with the end-user interface.

When an unexpected dump occurs under MVS, CICSPlex SM writes an abend indication and summary to either the console and job log, or to the TSO terminal. The first message in the abend summary is usually:

BBMZE001E Recovery manager ESTAE entered

CICSPlex SM also produces LOGREC records related to the abend and, when appropriate, one of the following dumps:

Figure 12 is an example of a CICSPlex SM dump produced under MVS.

Each MVS SDUMP has a title that consists of a summary of the abend. The title includes:

Here is an example MVS/ESA SDUMP title:

BBM/ZE ABEND S0C4,  PSW=078D1000 89608962, ASID=0034-P/0034/0034/0034,
CSECT=MXY10(MXY13+0A46)

In this example:

Abend code: S0C4
PSW at time of error: 078D1000 89608962
Failing ASID: 0034
Primary, secondary, and home ASIDs: 0034, 0034, 0034
Failing CSECT: MXY10
Failing function and offset: MXY13 + X'A46'

CICSPlex SM dumps under CICS

CICS causes a dump to be taken for a CICSPlex SM component when an abend occurs in a CMAS or MAS.

When an unexpected abend occurs under CICS, CICSPlex SM writes an abend indication and summary to the console and job log. The first message in the abend summary is usually:

EYUXL0900I Starting environment recovery

CICSPlex SM also writes a summary record to the CICS trace data set and takes a transaction dump, if appropriate. In addition, if the abend occurs in a CMAS or local MAS, CICSPlex SM produces SYMREC records and, when appropriate, takes an SDUMP.

Figure 13 is an example of a CICSPlex SM dump produced under CICS.

TRANDUMP and SYSDUMP code entries in a MAS

When the CICSPlex SM local MAS agent starts, it automatically adds one CICS TRANDUMPCODE (TRANDUMP) entry for transaction dump code EYUN and two SYSDUMPCODE (SYSDUMP) entries for system dump codes EYU0XZPT and EYU0XZSD. These codes are primarily used for CICSPlex SM Web User Interface users who many want to use the ADD action from the EYUSTARTTRANDUMP and EYUSTARTSYSDUMP view sets to add their own TRANDUMP or SYSDUMP entries.

The presence of these entries does NOT indicate a problem, unless the current dump count for these entries is greater than zero, in which case the MAS job logs and dump may need to be investigated.
