Using AutoIPL for stand-alone dumps

You can enable z/OS® to automatically trigger a stand alone dump using the automatic IPL (AutoIPL) function. AutoIPL is an automated function, defined in the DIAGxx parmlib member, that the system checks at wait state time. AutoIPL can re-IPL z/OS, or take a SADMP, or take a SADMP and have SADMP re-IPL z/OS when it finishes.

For details including the hard-coded table of wait state and reason codes, the wait state action table (WSAT), which triggers AutoIPL, see:

• The topic about Using the automatic IPL function in z/OS MVS Planning: Operations.
• The setting for AutoIPL in the topic about the DIAGxx parmlib member in z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.
