Hi Paul, Yep, I did the D R,L command and it came back empty.
I also tried replying to the message with END and got "ignored, no replies outstanding". But!!!! I did an internet search for the IEA711I message and got a hit from 2021 that talked about this issue. OA60648 talks about it although the symptoms aren't the same. I tried canceling DUMPSRV. Then taking a dump of the address space and it works again. So, at least now I can take a dump of CTJMON next time it loops and actually get the dump. Whether the vendor can find the problem and fix it is another story for another day. Thanks everybody. Rex Here's the text from the APAR describing the problem: There is a window within SDUMP cancel processing, whereby a synchronous dump can come in and obtain serialization. When the cancel completes, the serialization is still held, and SDUMP is locked for future dumps. The APAR doesn't fix the serialization issue, but canceling DUMPSRV clears out the fields that were causing subsequent dumps to throw the IEE711 message. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Paul Feller Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 3:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: DUMP command question Rex, I have to ask have you tried a D R,L command? Does it show any messages related to the DUMP process? Just for the heck of it you could try to do a R 36,END. Just a shot in the dark.

We use Changeman for source control. If a developer runs a JCL Verify in a changeman session, JCLV loops. If he runs JCLV within a normal ISPF session, it works. However in this case, my dumping problem isn't JCLV. I can't take any system dumps, it doesn't matter what job or task I'm trying to dump, it comes back with this: " IEE711I SYSTEM DUMP NOT TAKEN. ANOTHER DUMP WAS IN PROGRESS" The documentation doesn't help. It just says "wait until the other dump is done then try again". I can't find "the other dump".

We have one of those too. BMC keeps telling us "it is something we are doing". We have sent multiple console dumps and Mainview program trace. Still not getting anywhere with them.
