Re: Address space dump for Exit usage
When we take a SVCDUMP for an active address space . Does the dump shows if that particular address space uses particular EXIT ? We need to start with understanding the question. What do you mean "dump shows"? And what do you mean by "uses"?'' If by "dump shows" you are asking about evidence in the system trace of a call to a particular exit (and/or a particular exit routine) there is unlikely to be any, although for some there might be evidence of a PC to the dynamic exits service. But that PC would not show what exit or what exit routine. If by "uses" you mean "the system calls a particular exit for that particular address space", if you know the system control blocks you can likely figure out if a particular exit applies to a particular address space. But that would require a lot of internal knowledge. An "address space dump" is likely not useful at all. You'd need a dump of common storage and/or the address space that houses the information about calling exits.

Re: Address space dump for Exit usage
Using certain exits can also be defined outside control of the Address Space. E.g. SMFPRMxx defines whether certain exits are used or not for the address space. Or, PROGxx defines whether certain exit routines are used or not. Both situations will probably be invisible in a dump of the address space..

I am just trying to :>understand if a dump of an address space can help me to determine if a :>particular exit is being used or not . Lets break down the questions into two parts: 1. Was the exit invoked in that address space? If it leave footprints, you should be able to find them. 2. Will it be executed? In all cases, it would be best to read documentation on the exit to understand when it is documented to receive control. Note that some exits can have their attributes altered, in that at time X it will, but after certain operator commands (or API calls) it will not. And vice versa. The SVCDUMP will only work if you do an IF trap qualified by the job. Curious minds ask - which exit?
