If you want to view the dump online, copy the dump to a data set.
There are two tools you can use to copy the dump:
- Use the IPCS COPYDUMP subcommand when the IPCS environment has
been set up on your system. This is the only option recommended if
the dump was written to a multi-volume DASD data set.
- Use the IEBGENER utility when the IPCS environment has not been
set up on your system. Many operators take a stand-alone dump so that
the system programmer can view the dump. The operator does not require
IPCS on the system because the operator will not be viewing the dump.
Therefore, the operator should use the IEBGENER utility to copy the
dump to a data set accessible by the system programmer's system.
