  SLIP A=SYNCSVCD to stop the unit of work under which the PER
event occurred, when conditions at the time of the PER event allow
the work unit to be stopped.  SDUMP subsequently sets all of the
TCBs (below the dump TCB) in an address space to be nondispatchable
while the dump TCB it capturing that address space.  The STATUS STOP
for those TCBs is done asynchronously by an SRB scheduled to 
the address space.  SRB dispatching in the address space is not
affected.

  So if you have changed your program to take work which used to
run under a TCB and instead run it under an enclave SRB so that you 
can run it on a zIIP, you may experience some reduction in 
serviceability because this work will no longer be automatically
stopped by SDUMP while SDUMP is capturing the address space.
That is just one of the negative consequences of converting
TCB work to be SRB work. 

  You can get some information about when the SDUMP events occurred
by doing  VERBX IEAVTSFS  against the dump of interest.
