Before you can format a dump, you need to initialize it. You initialize a dump as follows:

1. Select option 0,

Show BPE status and initialize dump from the IMS Connect Dump

Formatting Menu panel. The IMS Connect initialization panel opens, as shown in

Figure 10-7.

2. A message warning that the symbol HWSCSCD was not found opens. It ask you to enter

the IMS Connect jobname or ASID to cause IMS Connect IPCS symbols to be set for the

dump.

Specify either the jobname or the ASID of the IMS Connect address you want to format

and press Enter. After you have provided a jobname or ASID, the remaining fields are

filled out in the initialization panel, as shown in Figure 10-8 on page 153.

To obtain a list of all dumped IMS Connect address spaces, leave the jobname and ASID

fields blank.

3. After initializing the dump, press PF3 to return to the IMS Connect Dump Formatting

Primary Menu.

After you have initialized a dump, you can then use the options on the IMS Connect Dump

Formatting Primary Menu to browse the dump data set, perform high-level or low-level IMS

Connect formatting, or perform IMS Connect BPE formatting.

Figure 10-9 on page 154 shows a sample formatted dump. To obtain, it we choose option 2

HI-LEVEL in the IMS Connect Dump Formatting Menu panel. Then, we select option

HWSTRACE

to access the IMS Connect trace data by the high-level (IMS Connect

component level) formatting function.
