Capturing the System Dump

If an abend occurs while processing a subsystem function request, the SSI requests a dump (unless a subsystem function routine takes one first). The dump title is similar to the following:

   TITLE=COMPON=SSI,COMPID=5752SC1B6,ISSUER=IEFJSaaa,
   MODULE=IEFJbbbb,ABEND=xxx,REASON=yyyyyyyy DUMP

The issuer is one of the following:

IEFJSARR, if the caller of the SSI is in task mode and holds no locks
IEFJSFRR, if the caller of the SSI is in SRB mode or holds a lock
IEFJSPCE, if the error is a recursive failure in the SSIs recovery.

For function request errors, the module is one of the following:

IEFJRASP, for broadcast function requests
IEFJSRE1, for directed function requests or for broadcast function requests that have not yet been passed to IEFJRASP.

Other module names may appear for errors in SSI services other than routing function requests.

Another variation of the dump title is the following:

 
    DUMP TITLE=COMPON=SSI,COMPID=5752SC1B6,ISSUER=IEFJSaaa,
    MODULE=IEFJbbbb,ABEND=xxx,REASON=yyyyyyyy,SNAME=zzzz

This variation will appear when SSI has determined that the error occurred in a subsystem function routine. The dump title identifies the name of the failing subsystem. SNAME refers to the subsystem, while zzzz is the name of the subsystem.

After creating a subsystem vector table, the SSI retains only the addresses of the function routines represented in the table, and therefore cannot identify the failing routine by name.

The dump title indicates an SSI routine as the failing CSECT, even when the error occurred in a subsystem function routine. After creating a subsystem vector table, the SSI retains only the address of the function routines represented in the table, and therefore cannot identify the failing routine by name.
