Components and scope of the output lists

The components and scope of the output lists are contingent upon:

• the dump from which they originate; the different dump forms, e.g. SLED dumps and area dumps, have different contents and scopes, and this is reflected in the lists

• the type of list selected (MINIMUM or ALL).

The following overview shows the different types of list and what they are made up of.

Table 8: Components and scope of the output lists

Description of the individual sections of the list:

Output of the general dump file information

This section contains the output from the status window in INF mode and is of particular importance if the dump file contains a number of objects. The object currently selected is displayed.

The section is contained in each of the modes SYS, MIN and ALL under SELECT but can also be requested explicitly with SEL=INF.

Output of the system overview

Each SLED, SNAP or system dump list requested with SEL=MIN/ALL starts with a system overview which is identical to that requested explicitly via SEL=SYS.

The system overview shows

• which system environment existed at the time of the dump,

• which global system problems, if any, existed at this time and

• which further system files belong to the diagnostic environment.

The overview contains the following items of information:

• server type

• memory configuration

• number of active processors

• BS2000 file name

• loader name

• name of the active SERSLOG file

• name of the active CONSLOG file

• overview of the software configuration (subsystems)

• overview of the active traces managed by the trace manager

• the system parameters set

• references to global system problems (saturation, FORCE-JOB-CANCEL, etc.)

• any error descriptors created during automatic preanalysis

• for SLED lists, the entire system trace table, the processor-local linkage AUDIT tables and the task overview, together with the system type-dependent hardware areas

• for system dumps and possibly user or area dumps, the task-specific edited system trace table, the process control blocks (PCBs), and program manager stacks of the task, the TCB and the task-local AUDIT tables.

Output of the CSECT list

The CSECT list is output per subsystem and version for privileged and nonprivileged subsystems, the CSECTs being sorted by their addresses. The ETPND module information is also output.

In order to save paper, the CSECT list, sorted by names, contains only the associated addresses of the CSECTs; it is intended simply as a cross-reference list (name -> address).

For SLED or SNAP, the list generated by default does not contain the module version numbers. These can be obtained by explicitly marking CS or ALL in the MAPS field in the LIST window, but it should be noted that the generation of such a list takes several minutes.

Output of REP information

The REP information contained in the dump (REPLOG or SAVEREP in earlier operating system versions) is output.

Output of the system trace table

The system trace table is output both in its entirety and also in the form of an extract containing all entries for the task concerned (once per task-specific analysis). Matching entries can be identified by reference to the trace entry numbers.

Output of the process control blocks (PCBs)

The PCBs are edited and output. The edited PCBs are followed by the PCB chain in non-edited format (dump format).

Output of the SPL stacks

The SPL stacks are output in edited form.

Output of the system tables

The XVT and the TCB are output without being edited (dump format); the addresses are relocated to the start of the table.

The JCB and JTBP are not output: only selected information from these tables (such as the name of the loaded program) is edited and output.

Output of the task file table and task-local DMS tables

The TFT and the task-local DMS tables are output only if the parameter PROC *DMS is selected or if the automatic preanalysis determines that DMS is the faulty component. Global DMS tables are not processed by DAMP.

Output of memory pages

The memory pages are output as follows:

• Minimum output (default value):
  The memory pages of memory classes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 are output only if they are referenced via a register of a PCB, an SPL stack or a save area.
  Any memory pages which were addressed during a preceding interactive diagnosis, implicitly during the automatic pre-diagnosis or during the initialization of DAMP are also regarded as marked.
  The class 5 memory is output fully, depending on the contents of the dump file.
  Pages marked as “secret pages” may or may not be contained in the dump file, depending on the system parameter DUMPSEPA.

• Full output:
  All pages of memory classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 which are included in the dump file are output.
