how to dump or browse sysplex structures?
hi all,
thanks for your last reply. i tried to follow the recommendation of lowering
the amount of data.
how can i limit the amount of data dumped from a structure? i tried the
following unsuccessfully:
1) dump with
/6025,STRLIST=(STRNAME=CIC_DFHLOG_P1A,(LISTNUM=(1-2),ENTRYDATA=UNSERIALIZE)
2) syslog includes:
000281 IEF196I IGD104I xxx RETAINED,
000281 IEF196I DDNAME=SYS00027
90 IEA611I PARTIAL DUMP ON x

90 DUMPID=025 REQUESTED BY JOB (*MASTER*)
90 FOR ASID (0001)
90 INCIDENT TOKEN: yyyPLEX 11/10/2010 14:09:26
90 SDRSN = 0004
90 SOME STORAGE COULD NOT BE DUMPED RC=16
3) my IPCS output:

What about using LIST command in IXCMIAPU? Or is there something you want from the CF that IXCMIAPU can't provide?

Re: how to dump or browse sysplex structures?
The only way to dump a coupling facility structure or any part of it is through the STRLIST keyword on the DUMP command or SDUMPX macro. A structure dump can be initiated from any system in the sysplex. If you're having a problem with insufficient dump space, you can increase it by modifying the CFRM policy and specifying a larger value. You can also tailor the dump to some degree by using the STRLIST options to specify what structure objects you want dumped.

Re: how to dump or browse sysplex structures?
Once you have your dump, if you want to look at some of the data in the structure (like the data element of a list entry), then you have to write your own IPCS program to access the data from the dump data set. I recently changed an application to hold IMS sign-on state information in a CF structure and in the started task code, included CIB logic to accept a MODIFY command to SNAP dump the contents of the list entry based on the entry name. If this CF code is code that you're maintaining, I'd certainly recommend doing something similar.
