Issue/Introduction

In the event of an abend, can I control the DUMPING options for Teleview Session Management?

Resolution

Yes. Using the PDS member named VOPTIONS, member ABENDOPT can be tailored to control the action that Teleview will take when a SYSTEM or USER abend occurs.

ABENDOPT should contain a statement for each abend and how you want that abend to be handled. Specify a control statement that indicates the specific abend, whether a SVC DUMP is to be generated, the number of SVC DUMPS to be generated for this type of abend for the duration of the Teleview cycle, and, for some SYSTEM abends only, whether the terminal will be returned to the Teleview menu.

For those SYSTEM or USER abends not specifically defined in ABENDOPT, the default statements for SYSTEM (ABENDXXX) and USER (UBENDXXX) determine how all other abends will be handled by Teleview.

Sample statements	Comments
ABENDXXX=SDUMP 05	System abend default; 5 SVC DUMPS taken
ABEND806=SDUMP 02 RESTART	2 dumps; system S806; terminal restart
UBENDXXX=SDUMP 05	User abend default; 5 SVC DUMPS taken
UBEND911=NONE	No SVC DUMPS for U911 abends

Refer to the Teleview Administrator Guide, Chapter 2 - System Options, Item 2.4.10 Abend Dumping Options for more details and examples of the default ABENDOPT member.
