For certain types of problem, you might be asked to supply a dump of CICS® IA. To request a dump of a CICS IA address space and its associated data space, use the MVS™ DUMP command.
You can issue the MVS DUMP command from the console. Use the ASID= keyword to identify the address space and the DSPNAME= keyword to identify the data space.
The data space name takes the form nnnnnINT, where nnnnn is a five-character number that can be obtained from the CICS IA Operations Statistics Menu, CIU150, shown in Figure 1. It is usually 00000INT.

If you use the MVS interactive problem control system (IPCS) to format and analyze CICS system dumps, you can use the CICS IA system dump formatting routine to format the CICS IA Collector data areas and trace, the dump formatting routine accessible to IPCS, as described in CICS IA supplied modules required in the MVS linklist. When your CICS system dump is formatted by the CICS release-dependent formatting routine, the CICS IA Collector data areas and trace are also formatted under the heading "CICS Interdependency Analyzer Control Blocks".
IPCS VERBX DFHPDnnn 'ft'
where nnn is
the CISC TS version; for example DFHPD650.
This command invokes the feature table and routine for a CICS TS dump. The CICS IA feature
routines are called CIUIADUF and CIUICDUF, and can be located in the
output by searching on =CIUIADUF (or =CIUICDUF). =CIUIADUF: Feature routine
