The IPCS subcommand STATUS SYSTEM identifies the following types
if information. The IPCS dialog does not have a menu option for STATUS
SYSTEM. Instead you must enter the subcommand.
- The time of the dump
- The program requesting the dump
- An incident token that associates one or more SVC dumps requested
for a problem on a single system or on several systems in a sysplex
Figure 1 is an example of a STATUS SYSTEM
report. For a scheduled SVC dump, the following identifies the dump:
Program Producing Dump: SVCDUMP
Program Requesting Dump: IEAVTSDT
A dump requested by a SLIP or DUMP operator command is always a
scheduled SVC dump.
For a synchronous SVC dump, the following identifies the dump:
Program Producing Dump: SVCDUMP
Program Requesting Dump: cccccccc
Where
cccccccc is one of the following:
- The name of the program running when the system detected the problem
- SVCDUMP, if the system could not determine the failing task
A SYSMDUMP ABEND dump is always a synchronous SVC dump.

SYSTEM STATUS for an SVC dump contains an incident token. The request
for the dump specifies the incident token or the system requesting
the dumps provides it. The incident token consists of:
- The name of the sysplex
- The name of the system requesting the multiple dumps
- The date in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- The time in GMT
