DB2 support with an over-the-top recommendation. How unusual is that ?. I was interested in how many people had found 5000M was enough though. I've had CICS dumps eat more than that in a reasonably small system. Partial dumps are a no-no, even though they may have all you need in them. Maybe. MAXSPACE is easy to determine at least. Pick your biggest, baddest "environment" that you care about (SAP, DB2, OMVS, whatever ...) and issue a dump. Multi address-space with dataspaces will generally do the job. If you get a partial dump, increase it - rinse, spin, repeat. Do it on a representative non-prod system - especially if you do synchronous dumps. Sandpits tend to be too small. As for the options, Barbara covered that.
