Re: Large SVCDUMPS
Thanks all.teach me for not keeping up with JCL parameters and knowing DSNTYPE=LARGE was actually a JCL option! Putting // DSNTYPE=LARGE, In my allocation did the trick!

Re: Large SVCDUMPS
Dennis, We set up a SMS pool and do dynamic dumps to that pool. This command is what controls the size allowed for the dump. CHNGDUMP SET,SDUMP,MAXSPACE=6000M You can display by doing D D,S This is an example of the commands to start the SMS MGMT part. DUMPDS NAME=SYS0.DUMPSYSNAME..DYYMMDD..SSEQ DUMPDS ADD,SMS=(MGMT=MCDUMP,STOR=SCDUMP,DATA=DCDUMP) DUMPDS ALLOC=ACTIVE Hope it helps.

Re: Large SVCDUMPS
I take it you've seen this already as well. from: II14016 Another message to be aware of is MSGIEA043I MAXSPACE REACHED. This indicates a PARTIAL dump. At minimum, set DB2 using system to a reasonable level, in MVS Commands see these commands: DISPLAY : D D,OPTIONS CHNGDUMP : CD SET,SDUMP,TYPE=XMEME,MAXSPACE=8000M MAXSPACE=8000M minimum for DB2 z/OS V8 later Note: See II06471 : DUMPSRV uses AUX storage for dumping, you may need to add an extra PAGE dataset when dumping DBM1. Note: Allocate a hi-capacity device like a 3390 mod9 for dumps. **use ACS routines for size *** Note: With DFSMS120 and Dynamic Dump Allocation, multi-volume EFDS format datasets can be created for your SVCDUMP. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
