Updating z/OS dump options

This section describes how to update the z/OS dump options for the agent for z/OS.

The sample JCL procedure for an agent for z/OS address space includes a DD statement and a dump data set is allocated by the EELRETWT sample created by EELINST. SYSMDUMP is the dump format preferred by the service organization.

Ensure that the dump options for SYSMDUMP include RGN, LSQA, TRT, CSA, and GRSQ on systems where an agent for z/OS address space will run. To display the current SYSMDUMP options, issue the z/OS® command DISPLAY DUMP,OPTIONS. You can use the CHNGDUMP command to alter the SYSMDUMP options. Note that this will only change the parameters until the next IPL is performed.

To dump an agent for z/OS address space using the z/OS DUMP command, the SDUMP options should specify RGN, LSQA, TRT, CSA, and GRSQ. Consider defining these options as your system default.
